.. And other Web browsers that don't understand it will
fail, even with "classical" languages like German, Spanish,
French or Italian.

As I said before, it would be good to have classical ISO
output too, at least for a few years. 

Well, after all, we can write (numerical character entities)
to (ISO or KOI) scripts, that's not really a problem.

The major problem to me seems to be the editing of UTF-8
files, not conversion issues.
Even if "recode" doesn't work properly, a conversion script
is not too much work.

Yes, indeed.
