Could you explain what the problem is, as you see it? I've heard
mumblings about this from various directions for a long time, but
could never make any sense out of them. Is there a problem? If so,
what is it?
It seems to me that as security problems go C/C++ is infinitely much
worse that Unicode, and anyone at all serious about security should
start there, rather than with character sets.
