Well, I just reiterated a non-religious argument for the change ("Against ASCII" above). Which is that UNICODE is around the ZTree corner (Kim please don't flame ;-) and you can't mix it in the same breath with ASCII. You can say "UNICODE-Align/Alpha/Plain/Text", never "UNICODE-ASCII". No replies to that post, yet.

And, if ASCII is to be dropped, the sooner the better - especially before a point release. Oldtimers don't read the labels anyway, newcomers will have one less change to endure later.
