    117117The same issues apply to OFTStringList lists of strings.  Each string will be assumed to be UTF-8.

     119Some drivers (ie. CSV) can effectively not know the encoding of their inputs.  Therefore, it isn't always practical to turn things into UTF-8 in a guaranteed way.  So, the new layer level capability called "StringsAsUTF8" represented with the macro "OLCStringsAsUTF8" will be testable at the layer level with TestCapability().  Drivers which are certain to return string attributes as UTF-8 should return TRUE, while drivers that do not know the encoding they return should return FALSE.  Any driver which knows it's encoding should convert to UTF-8.
