We store a lot of strings, so I think a quadrupling of the storage space compared with what we do today, or doubling wrt. to UTF-16, will be significant. Another thing is that if we actually have 32 bit available, I would have liked to use UCS-4, rather than UTF-16... using UCS-4 would fit better with the (But of course to do that, I would need to have platform specific code depending on sizeof(wchar_t)...:-/) > I'd much rather have the format defined to be wstring (or wchar_t*, if you > must, but that's another debate), because of the compatibility with wide > string literals. Hm... I don't know anything about wide string literals and their behaviour wrt. to wstring, text editors and debuggers. Could you elaborate, maybe...? xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
