1. in HEAD we have 'z3859_extended_services', a routine capable of handling all the Z3859 extended services offered by Zebra, as well as 'set_service_options', which sets the service options before calling z3859_extended_services. But in dev_week, it looks like that's handled with 'zebraop' and when zebraop fails it falls back on zebraopfiles ...
What is zebraop?
So which of these routes shall we take, perhaps a combo of both approaches?

Internally, I vote that we store everything as UTF-8 in all circumstances.
I agree. It costs us maybe some CPU and maybe some space, but it probably will stops us all going mad. The only sensible alternative is to have general string accessor functions, but I'd expect that to use more CPU in reality.
