SV: SV: SV: Z39.50 character encoding

Mike,

Why don't you just describe yourself why you think it's madness. I think it
has the benefit that basically any characterset may be supported without
doing any development as the solution is already provided by the XML
services. It means quite some benefits without any investment.

Best regards,

Henrik Dahl

"Will no-one speak out against this madness?"  :-)
