ISTM the logical order is the reverse, because encodings can be explained without reference to locales, but it's very difficult to cover locales without touching on encodings. There are a lot of forward references in sections 22.1 and 22.2 as it stands. So I'd like to flip this around --- any objections? regards, tom lane
