Hi,

I was just following the thread.. and don't have any idea how the
stuff really works but here my 2cents:

Wouldn't it be easier to just implement UTF-32 internally, because
then the variable length of codepoints doesn't have to be handled
anymore (they are all 4bytes long) ?
It's a little bit overhed in most cases when just using ascii. And for
further processing the text can be reencoded easily.

regards
