I strongly disagree to cutting backward compatibility. But couldn't we find a technical solution, i.e.:
storing everything in the database in UTF-8
converting it automagically into embedded code (maybe even using HTML-
entities like ü or ß) before an edit
Preferably (de)activated by a user preference item. (It's pretty hard to edit with embeds, and it's useless for a modern browser.)
- converting everything after the edit in UTF-8, including correct UTF8-
characters inserted by the edit and embedded code
Apart from my comment: Good idea!
