Comment 13 for bug 191199

we validate now - that was a separate bug.

Charset encoding stuff is covered by a separate bug (bug 126255) Won't using
utf8 require us to use perl 5.6? That bug has a patch on it, but it doesn't
really cover whats needed here, it just allows an encoding to be set.

Leaving open, -> 2.18, and depending on bug 126255. I'll mark the other patch as
obsolete, too, so that it doesn't affect queries.
