How are people dealing with UTF-8 vs. unicode vs. Latin-1?  I have been
working on a lexer (using Flex) that assumes the input stream is either
Latin-1 or UTF-8 and returns byte strings to the caller.  Since Java
chars are Unicode, I assume that the Java XML parsers are doing the
opposite, right?  Is there any consensus on what form PCDATA or GI names
should take when they are returned to the application?  On a related
note, when do character entities get replaced - in the lexer or later
on?  My reading of the draft is that the scanner must do the replacement
if the examples of rescanning are to work.
