    <p>That's true for <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext">file:consult</a>,
      but</p>
    <p>the user who want to edit the file will see <br>
    </p>
    <p>{"cn",[28450]}.</p>
    <p>and not</p>
    <p>{"cn","<span style="font-family:"MS Gothic"">漢</span>"}.</p>
    <p>So, for the user it's different!</p>
    <p>What is the right way to save?</p>
    <p>Regards,</p>
    <p> Oliver</p>
