[mapserver-users] RE: Validation beyond [A-z]

[Stephen Woodbridge]

I could not find a ticket for this probelm so I have aopened a new one:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3853

Please add yourselves to the CC list if you want to follow along on 
updates. Also if you are aware of other areas of the code or mapfile 
that need to add support for UTF-8 characters please add a comment.

Thanks,
   -Steve W
