OK, thanks. So FPC 3.0.0 is really just an interim / preview Unicode FPC
(think KDE 4.0 release situation).

The other problem being? How can we contribute to bringing the Unicode
Enabled RTL up to par with Delphi, when the FPC team can't decide on
what the RTL must be or look like? When can we expect a decision from
the dev team?

Thanks for that.

I'm sure Michael will not be happy about having to dig through the wiki
for potential documentation updates. Plus the fact that, how much can
you trust the wiki information, because anybody of any skill level can
edit it.

Don't you have commit access to fpc_docs? ;-)

True, but this could easily be automated to generate interim PDF's once
a week or once a month. Cron job -> svn up -> make -> rsync with webserver.
