And moving toward UTF-8 won't be simple.  I just tossed a couple
of file from http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/ into a
few apps that are supposed to support UTF-8 (emacs, vim, firefox)
and the results were underwhelming.  Skimming the description of
xterm support for UTF-8 gives some appreciation for how complex
this crap is (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#xterm).

That said, I'm a bit tired of explaining to my kids why I'm typing
in black and white terminal windows in the age of HTML5 ;^)

Thanks,
 Phil
