first of all I want to thank you and Borys (isn't Boris the latin
representation?) for this patch.
 
UTF-8 support is really a nice add on, even if it should not be
necessary to support Ukrainian language as Russian demonstrates and
considering the fact that Ukrainian shares the same alphabet as Russian
(except of course the additional i/I character).

The only problem I could imagine is that SGML will not or wrongly complain about
invalid characters. I have to check this.

A stupid question from my side, but could you please explain this?
That's Ardo's code and I'm not familiar with it.

I wonder why you do not add a 8 bit encoding as well, but maybe it should
be autogenerated from UTF-8 mode/strings in debiandoc-sgml itself.

Probably you want to add a non breakable space "~" in front of the number?

If I remember correctly this is only supported in Acrobat to properly
show bookmarks. xpdf and other PDF viewer just display garbage
(independent of the unicode option).

Spasibo,
