    What is meant by the '2002-09-04 17:46:13' commit for the localisation
    strings files: 'the stringset is now encoding aware'

    For example:

    <AbiStrings app="AbiWord" ver="1.0" language="nn-NO">

    was changed to:

    <AbiStrings app="AbiWord" ver="1.0" language="nn-NO" encoding="iso-8859-1">

    XML files *already* contains encoding information in the XML
    declaration:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

    and it's *impossible* to use a different encoding for elements
    than the one used for the entire XML file (i.e. the XML file
    wouldn't be well-formed, and no XML parser would able to read it).
    This change just doesn't make sense.
