Hi,
I report a little inaccuracy in your documentation. In the following
section " 1.3 Aspects in Native Language Support", you use "ISO 8859-1 font"
where you should use "ISO 8859-1 code set".
You also use both "code set" and "codeset".

Characters and Codesets
The codeset most commonly used through out the USA and most English speaking parts of the world is the ASCII codeset. However, there are many characters needed by various locales that are not found within this codeset. The 8-bit ISO 8859-1 code set has most of the special characters needed to handle the major European languages. However, in many cases, the ISO 8859-1 font is not adequate: it doesn't even handle the major European currency. Hence each locale will need to specify which codeset they need to use and will need to have the appropriate character handling routines to cope with the codeset.
