Having seen peter brave the wemm-field and go utf-8 I recently
converted too and most stuff seems to work without trouble.

What doesn't work with nvi is that it *recently* started mangling
files with invalid byte sequences no matter what charset you
set it for except 'C'.

I write recently, because I'm quite sure it started in the last
year or so, before that it did the right thing.

You do get a warning on reading in the file if there are conversion
issues, but I really think nvi should be able to edit any file, no
matter what charset you have set for it, and invalid byte sequences
should just show up as hex-expansions like they do in 'C' mode.
