Subject:        RE: Unix/Java design issues (Was: Re: Is CDATA "structure"?)

Windows NT is perfectly Unicode aware, and I routinely view XML documents in
Notepad on my NT box.  All of the characters are fine, with the only problem
being the LF-CRLF-CR problem that started this thread in the first place.  I
am 87% sure that Windows 95 uses the windows-1250 or windows-1252 character
set internally, although it may also have some level of Unicode awareness.
(I'm not sure about that.)  And I haven't the faintest idea what character
set Windows 98 uses natively, although I'd like to hope that it's Unicode.

Windows 98 is like Windows 95, but here is the kicker -- both can convert from the codepage that they are setup with to/from unicode.  This is significant because COM on Win9x as well as NT is *ALL* unicode internally (thus, MS's DOM (being a COM object) does everything internally in unicode all the time (although I must plead ignorance as to its usage of the LF-CRLF-CR thing that this thread is about).
