Oh, but it makes sense! Just because you happen to work on a very international project does not mean everybody does.

Just because you happen to like utf-8 does not mean that you still do in 
2046. The encoding-du-jour might well be a 64-bit wide char code by then, 
since they'll laugh about our dreaming about terabytes.

BTW, utf-8 was designed on purpose to be easily distinguishable from other encodings so that you don't have to rely on every document obeying a certain encoding.

Hth, Dscho
