I agree this would probably be more productive.
Perhaps the IUCr could point its authors at such a survey - via its CIF author services pages (printCIF, checkCIF...)?
Cheers

Dear DDLm-ers,
I think Herbert's suggestion of sending a version of my summary out is unlikely to produce a great deal of enlightenment, because I expect the range of responses to simply mirror that which we have already seen in this group, with no ultimate resolution. I would like to propose instead a simple questionnaire that we can use to inform our decision. The questions I would like to see answered are:
James.

I would like to propose instead a simple questionnaire that we can use to inform our decision. The questions I would like to see answered are:
- Do you regularly use non-ASCII characters when editing text? Examples of such characters include accented ASCII characters, and the characters from Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, Cyrillic etc. (Yes/No/Don't know)
- What languages do you usually deal with when editing text?
- What text editing programs do you usually use?
- Can the text editors that you usually use read and write files in UTF-8 format? (yes/no/don't know)
- Which non-ASCII encoding do you think would result in the least problems when transferring your text files across the internet?
- Would you object to a new CIF standard which allowed only UTF-8 encoded files? If so, why?
- Do you have any comments regarding suitable choice of encoding(s) for the new CIF standard?
James.
