I'm very glad you find it useful. Thank you for considering it.

I didn't realize how much it takes to solve such issues. However, I've 
found they turn out to be a critical factor in order to make Texinfo 
convenient for serious Texinfo usage in non-English languages. Thanks a 
lot for your efforts put on this.

Do as you consider more appropriate.

By the way, I submitted the txi-ISO-8859-1.tex file with a copyright 
notice with my name. I think GNU projects have the policy to require 
that copyright ownership be transferred to the FSF, right?.

I have no problem with that at all for this and any further 
contributions I be able to submit to be copyrighted to the FSF. My only 
concern is that I would like to be able to write a small article about 
my work for a local journal, and I'm not sure what would be implications 
of this transfer of copyright ownership with regards to publication in 
the journal.

Best regards,
