It is good enough for Lithuanian language (we use a Latin based alphabet 
with some weird additions -- iso8859-13), but I think it would be 
beneficial to standardize on unicode for everyone. That way we can have 
a consistant way for building all the documentation formats that we 
need. So, I would rather use UTF than hack E<>'s

Well, while managing such things, one must keep track of some meta-data. 
Things like authors, translators, translation status, etc. We'd still 
have to think about this or use the system whatever is being used in 
those national projects.
