Mav, do you have a constructive suggestion for improving compatibility with older browsers? If so, please post it on wikitech-l, where we're discussing the issue. We already know you don't like the idea of breaking older browsers.
I don't care about breaking old browsers, I care about breaking articles and not being at least minimally accessable to people who use old browsers. One thing is certain, however: Switching to UTF-8 will not improve compatibility with old browsers or improve the experience of the people who use them.

I'll take that as a hypothetical acceptance of a UTF-8 solution that explicitly retains compatibility with older browsers and thus avoids breaking articles.
