Anybody that has a need to view this registry has access to means of viewing UTF-8. > the breakage to processors is no worse than adding new > fields (nor are there that many fully-conformant > processors to be fixed). I'm inclined to agree, but am waiting to see if anyone makes a strong counterargument.
