Interesting set of documents. Most of it isn't new to me, but I did find the chapter on character encodings interesting. Hope to see more of that. "i18n and l10n are big topics in themselves. For example, they cover issues such as colours: while white means "purity" in Western cultures, it means "death" to the Chinese and "joy" to Egyptians. In this chapter we just look at issues of character handling." While I generally make a concerted effort to supply decent unicode language support, I never really considered the part about colours and symbolism differences and how they may affect potential customers. This is probably something I should be investigating further.
