- Some documentation fixes as per Charlie's suggestion: bug #2260.

- Bugfix: fixed problem with changing themes.  Didn't apply Al's patch as
  the fix was somewhat simpler.  Fixes bug #2003.

- Bugfix: fixed the CREATE FUNCTION in database.mssql as it needs to be prefixed with GO for some obscure reason.  Patch by Kjartan.

- Bugfix: fixed the defaults for blocks in database.mssql so the NOT NULL fields get values.  Patch by Kjartan.

- Bugfix: changed check_form() to use htmlspecialchars() instead of drupal_specialchars() as this caused Drupal to emit incorrect form items in presence of quotes.  Example:

  <input type="submit" class="form-submit" name="op" value="Submit "top nodes" block changes" />

  IMO, drupal_specialchars() is better called xmlspecialchars() to avoid confusion.

TODO:

- Does our XML feeds validate with the charset changes?

- The forum module's SQL doesn't work properly on PostgreSQL.

- Fixed some translation bugs in the profile module.  (I wasn't going to
  commit this yet but I accidentically did so now I've cleaned it up.)

------

- TODO: it might be a good idea to emit the following meta tag in the
theme_head() function:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

Currently, some themes (and modules!) emit this while others don't.  This
would also make it possible to change the charset site-wide.

- TODO: now we added support for td.dark and td.light to drupal.css, maybe
it can be removed from admin.css as well as xtemplate.css?

- Michael Frankowski's excellent help text improvements!

Patch by Kjartan:

- Fixed empty fields being displayed.

- Fixed some coding standard discrepancies.

- Fixed the birthday date formatting.

- Wrapped some hardcoded colors in "theme_invoke()"s; we can still create
  a drupal_error() later on but I think we better get used to theme_invoke().

- Applied user.module patch from Marco's sandbox.
