Google Sitemaps in ASCII

Hi All

Am I right in thinking that I can create a UTF-8 compatible sitemap  
document with BLOB TO DOCUMENT as long as none of the URLs contain  
characters above ASCII 127 ?

Since Google requires UTF-8 encoding I'm under the impression that a  
UTF-8 reader (i.e. the Googlebot looking for a sitemap file) will  
understand this file.

Am I wrong in this assumption ?

Regards

Peter

URL encoding requires that all non- ASCII characters be encoded using  
%xx form, which you can safely encode utf-8.

Thanks !

I also see that I can do Mac to UTF in Active 4D code.
