This change to the standard looks ok to me - especially if nobody expects
KDE to support the Legacy-Mixed encodings (strange name, we call that 
"locale-8-bit" :)

The one change it means for KDE, is to add
Encoding=UTF-8 
to all the desktop files it creates.
Shouldn't be too hard, I'll look into that.

Another missing bit in KDE would be to recognize
Name[de_DE] and prefer it over Name[de].
