Please no... It ended up with a simple language like Polish having latin2, cp1852 (or something like that), mazovia, mazovia2, and probably some more homebrew encodings. I can't even imagine what would happen for completely different scripts like Indian.<p>There are problems with unicode - ok, let's resolve them then. I still want to be able to address my email to the real name of person named in language A, living under address of country B, signing the email properly in language C. (where all parts use language-specific characters) Unicode is the first standard which allows me to do that in most cases, so I guess it's a step in the right direction.
