On a general note, I think it's time to call things "text" instead of "ascii". Every time someone utters the word "ascii", they just mean text. Saying “I'm using ASCII” doesn't mean anything anymore, because nobody uses EBCDIC anymore – you are, no matter what, effectively using a superset of ASCII, by default UTF-8. The real question is which one. |

I get what you're saying, but I have seen bugs at work caused by distributed systems sending text in ASCII or UTF8 to an IBM z/OS mainframe with EBCDIC.
