I think the charset for the database tables should also be UTF-8
encoded (and thus Solar_Sql_Table method for table creation should be
changed). I'm not very used to I18n issues, but if this is really a
requirement, well, it should be done so Solar_Apps will be ready for
I18n.

Hmmm, thanks. I had this newbie doubt after I've tried to insert a
bookmark and got a exception "Unknown column 'areas.title' in 'field
list'.". Forget it, the tables were created automatically and
something happened, but I'll drop them, start again and see what I've
done wrong.
