[Camomile should be adapted > consequently.] If this project is undertaken, then IMO the prospective student should also consult the Batteries and Extlib UTF8 modules, mostly based on Camomile's UTF8, so that new UTF8-specific functions are not needlessly incompatible with code written against Batteries, Extlib, or Camomile. This shouldn't be very difficult - Extlib and Batteries basically simplify and extend Camomile for UTF-8 handling - but should still be considered. - Michael
