| 1 | In discussion on IRC, darkblue and I have discussed a few different use cases that we should try to make sure happen in the short term, without neccesarily doing any work with localization. |

| 3 | Some possible test cases to determine where GDAL breaks, without localization being neccesary: |
| 4 | * Convert UTF-8 encoded KML file to a shapefile using ogr2ogr. Ensure that the same bytes from the KML file are maintained in the ogrinfo output of the shapefile. |
| 5 | * Store UTF-8 encoded bytes in a shapefile attribute. Ensure that when fetching the attribute value, the bytes are the same. (crschmidt has tested this and confirmed it worked for him.) |
