Just in case you were wondering why any of this didn't show up yet in the
development code - I _am_ still working on it. (Yeah I know, I've been
saying that for many months. But it's still true :) )
With "any of this" I mean the changes to LYExpandString() and
LYUnEscapeEntities() etc. to properly translate characters in attributes.
I have noted your code changes and also your caveat in FOTEMODS.
I am aiming for something more general -- without the restriction w.r.t.
UTF-8, and also with back-translation for form submission -- and found
it necessary to make lots of changes, to pass a charset parameter in
many places. Have bits and pieces of it lying around, but didn't want
to put it in 2.7.1ac-0.* before it is at least half working.
If I totally mess it up, we still have your code to fall back to. :)
As for your detailed message on this topic, I didn't reply (yet) because I
wanted to try to have some "running code" first. But basically, I think
we agree that the chartrans code is difficult to follow, especially in
SGML.c (to put it very mildly; "a mess" might better cover it).
We may disagree on how to proceed from this basic fact, maybe...
A proper state mechanism in SGML.c instead of looping tricks (your words
from FOTEMODS) would be nice; currently I am just trying not to break
the functionality there (such as it is; I am certainly not convinced that
it is doing "the right thing" in all cases now, but it could be worse).
