Sorry, I'm not very versed on WideString managers, so excuse if this is
a dumb question. Would this (usage of cwstrings) be limited to the XML
usage only (reading/writing from file), or to any place in fpGUI or my
applications that use String as a data type?  TfpgString is defined
explicitly as AnsiString so that should be ok, but there are still lots
of places (and my own projects) that use String instead.

I guess this would cause issues with API calls to external libraries too?

After following the posts in the Embarcadero newsgroup, I felt the same
way. They are using the data from Unicode.org - repackaging it is
irrelevant as far as I'm concerned.
