Hi Dave,
Thank you for your comments, I think your interpretation of 'encoding'
is right and acceptable. We will implement this scheme for ruby in the
nearest future. UTF-8 is the best choice because it's a superset of
ASCII and encodes unicode symbols.
But there is one small problem: first "init" command from debugging
engine (before feature negotiation) should be sent in the predefined
encoding. "init" xml request has only one problem attribute "fileuri"
and we should decide what to do with it.

Hi Dmitriy,
I don't think init is a problem.
As it is XML, it will have an encoding (so an engine may want to use UTF-8
as a default encoding anyway), but I think ascii would also work. A fileuri
comprises of ASCII characters. when a file is converted to a URI, it encodes
non ascii characters to escaped UTF-8 values.
