We are planning on working on NATIONAL CHARACTER and CHARACTER SET
features for the next release, which would move MB into a supported
feature which can coexist with ascii in the standard installation.
Would you be interested in contributing to that, either with code or
simply with implementation ideas and testing? I know that Tatsuo is
planning on participating, and I'm looking forward to working on it
too, though as you point out those of us who can get by with ascii
text don't know how to exercise MB capabilities so I'll need
suggestions and help.

Regards.

- Thomas
