Well, this is in no way a new thought, but it is worth repeating: What 
about just using UTF-8, plain and simple.

This solution was available almost 20 years ago (see RFC 2277). There 
were certain backwards-compatibility issues, the worst of which 
according to my knowledge would have been that UTF-8 would have shown up 
as double-encoded garbage when interpreted as iso-8859-1 (as defined in 
HTTP at that time).

What I find extremely disappointing is that despite this group being 
composed of a lot of very intelligent people, it was impossible to move 
towards such a simple solution even at a slow pace. The good thing is 
that it's never too late. But that doesn't mean that we have to push 
this solution out another 20 or 50 years.

Regards,   Martin.
