Christoph,
I think that makes perfect sense. This would mean no UTF-8/ISO
decision in mapbender.conf, no two data sqls...
It'll only require to set the webservers character set to UTF8 also?
Could this be a potential problem, e.g. with other software running on
the same server?
Just playing devil's advocat, I think we'll eliminate a lot of
problmes with that.
Cheers, Michael
