Hi, 
Nice to hear somebody on kde-kant list. ;-)
I was already wondering if I subscribed to a wrong list or missed something.  

As original bug reporter  (Bugs #26808 # 26809, #26810), I can provide more 
info about Unicode support/bugs.

If you understand under "UTF8 option in settings"   
Country & Language - Charset settings in KDE Control Center - than yes, 
I use either koi8-r or cp1251 as charset. 
Reason is very simple - all web sites in Russia support one of these two font 
encodings. And Konqueror uses (by default) encoding from Country & Language 
settings.
Doesn't Kate use Unicode internally?  As far as I remember, KWrite from KDE 
2.1 was able to display Unicode text files, and I didn't have to switch any 
settings i Control Center for this.
 
Here is one more *wishlist* for KWrite/Kate.
I think it's related to problem above.
If you use Unicode internally, it would be logical to add Export/Import 
filters into different encoding.
Like: 
koi8-r (Cyrillic) text imported into Kate, and than exported as cp1251 (also 
Cyrillic, known as Windows-Cyrillic) 
Actually, I was planning to use KWrite for HTML editing already for some time 
(since KDE 2.0 release...), but missing cp1251 support was not allowing me to 
do it. I have nothing against to prepare prototype in UTF8, but need to 
upload files to server in cp1251 (so, they are accessible by Windows users)
Pls let me know if I can expect it from KWrite/Kate in upcoming releases.
