There is no codeset support in omniORB 2.8 and 3.0. However, work is in
progress to support codeset conversion as part of the GIOP 1.2 development.
The whole codeset conversion/negotiation on the wire was added after GIOP
1.0 and is IMHO too complicated for the task it is trying to accomplish.

Is there a real need for codeset conversion? Why can't we all just use
unicode?
