Were there any plans to use UTF8 etc</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10294186" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/michkap/archive/2012/04/16/10293962.aspx#10294183Mon, 16 Apr 2012 17:11:50 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10294183asdf<p>Parsing support is pretty big, I&#39;d say almost 50% big even.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10294183" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/michkap/archive/2012/04/16/10293962.aspx#10294178Mon, 16 Apr 2012 16:49:29 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10294178Jan Kučera<p>OT: How was the title intended?
