We need someone to go thru this issue.
We have agreed on reverting any of the UTF8 changes in the code.
We need to reach a decision and we need to do this quickly. Certainly
faster than the pace the Xorg arch team has been working in the past.

We should make sure the text accurately reflects the code we are shipping.
Everything else is secondary.

I'm not sure if it is a good idea to not ship any standard docs at all.
I've created an entry in the bugzilla and assigned it to you (#257), maybe
you can help us with this process.

Egbert.
