Subject: Encoding is not specified
The specification does specify encoding of the Changes file. It looks like the current specification expects ASCII (or a superset), but that is not enough for some needs. For example, CPAN authors may want to credit contributors with their full Unicode name. UTF-8 is already quite popular in practice, so that would be a good choice. An impact of accepting Unicode is that the specification will have to be more precise on the definition of "Whitespace" and "Line". -- Olivier Mengué - http://perlresume.org/DOLMEN
