Leave aside implementation for the moment... a best practices

handle international characters. A list of common pit falls. A a few
config file styles that are considered good, and a few that are
examples of how not to do it.
Again this is not a discussion that should be happening inside the
scope of fedora.
Hint: google for configuration specification discussions that have
occured already in distribution and application neutral forums.
Hint 2: freedesktop and related mailinglists
Hint 3: D-Conf
