- We run a lot of ISO Latin-1 here -- I hate it; there are just too many
- things that break when they see 8 bit characters, and I'm usually the one
- who has to _hack_ 8 bit cleanliness into things. Don't get me wrong, I'm
- all for 8 bit clean code. Once we have that, just run Plan 9 utf -- end
- of problem. Pushing Plan 9 utf should make everyone happy; it's clean,
- simple and it _works_.
