Is there any reason to leave table without representations in place and add a new one _with_ them which differs only in representations field and(possible) bigger number of entities ?
Maybe not, but I didn't suggest _that_ table.
I thought that although implicit it was clear, but it seems that character handling code is always harder than it seems!
The main reason for separating the tables was to make clear what was the workaround and what the code to be used with UCS in the future.
The other is that the second table can be ordered by isocode and thus allow for a bin search instead of the slow linear search the patch uses.
OK, Jorge, you convinced me. Having a separate table is really better. New patch (against current CVS) is attached. Yours, Nikita.
