The variant feature of the retrieval facility could be used to overide the utf-8 negotiation. (There would be no way however to overide utf-8 for the search term, if the option bit approach, but not the attribute, is adopted.) > Would a request for a particular record syntax > override any utf-8 option bit set at Init time? Well no, that's not what I had in mind. You would have to explicitly overide it via a variant request. What you're suggesting is that where a particular character set is implicitly associated with a syntax then requesting that syntax would implicitly overide utf-8?
