 I use the twentyten template on my Chinese blog
 (http://reganmian.net/boke). For search and category pages, it lists
 unpredictable amounts of texts for the automated extracts, it seems to me
 that this is due to the way it counts "words". For example, setting the
 number of words to 3 (adding a filter in the functions.php of the
 template), cause two different posts to display widely varying lengths of
 extracts. I believe this is because the way the_extract function counts
 words does not work well with Chinese, which is written without spaces.
 Perhaps offer an option to revert to counting (unicode) characters in this
 case.
