[s-xml-devel] Simple character sets: what does it mean?

[Luca Capello]

Hello!

In order to let s-xml enter in Debian, I had been asked for the
meaning of the limitation of s-xml in supportin "simple character
sets" [1].

AFAIK, the only explanation I found is the same provided in the MySQL
Reference Manual [2]:
=====
If the character set does not need to use special string collating
routines for sorting and does not need multi-byte character support,
it is simple.

If it needs either of those features, it is complex.
=====

Am I correct?

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
