Ah yes, a different encoding could possibly cause problems, though I  
haven't tested much. I don't mess with non-english characters  
personally. Normally TM hides the whole encoding issue for you as  
much as possible, at least as far as commands that process the  
current file and do things to it are concerned. The problem here  
though is (I think) that these commands we are talking about have to  
read more than one files, so they read them directly from the files,  
without TM intervening. Hence such encoding issues could crop up  
(though I haven't done any testing).

Hm good question. Sounds like a question for the Quicksilver folks ;)
