How do you mean?  You should be able to use UTF-8 or UTF-16 but as far 
as I can tell YAXO doesn't handle these.  Clearly squeak needs to 
support multi-byte characters as well but is there some level of support 
hear that I'm not aware of?  I don't see how XML itself gives you this 
for free... it's just that compliant parsers should all understand it 
(and we don't).

Or perhaps I'm completely missing your point...
