Yes, #1954 is for 1.2. It need not go into 1.1.2 IMHO. Basically,
just make your changes work with trunk, and everything should be fine.

Are you asking about the svn_ctype_* functions? They support exactly
what they're documented to support: all of UTF8, including both the
ASCII and non-ASCII parts of UTF8. Some of these characters are not
valid in XML, such as most of the control chars. And we've decided
not to support the few control chars that *are* valid XML anyway.
(Again, just to be clear, when I say "valid in XML", I mean "able to
be represented in XML, although XML-standard escape codes may be
necessary for some characters such as <, >, etc".)
Btw, what editing environment do you use? If it's GNU Emacs, I can
help you create non-ASCII characters. Or just tell us what example
strings you need, and we can attach a file to the issue, containing
those strings.

Looking forward to it, thanks!
