I don't really agree with that though. It's kind of stupid to have server-side keywords if user still has to configure each client to specify what they mean. It would have been nice if keywords had been strings instead of atoms.

I've been thinking about some day maybe trying to create some kind of a standard for keywordUTF7 <-> UTF8 translation.
