I don't know much about wide char requirements, but I'm working on a possibility of getting our handbook to use Norm Walsh's xml DocBook, and then formatting to html and or groff markup directly (removing Jade and TeX). I'm getting closer to a demo, but nothing to demonstrate just yet, but I have to learn about what we need in terms of WCS support, and (if anyone knows) what kind of support FreeBSD has for things like wcscat()?
