• broken browsers - they should be upgraded, if

someone has browser so old

	that it doesn't grok UTF-8, it's not going to

grok CSS,

	PNGs, and other things we're using either.
	Unless we want to remove all CSS and PNGs,

there's

	no point in not using UTF-8.

Is this true? All I know is that we had a *lot* of problems with broken special chars on the Meta-Wiki during the logo contest. I have no idea which browser broke them, but it seems to be a not totally uncommon one, perhaps in the 5% range. Given that a single edit by such a person will break an entire page, it might not be so wise to switch (but perhaps I'm missing something -- is Meta running UTF-8?).

I confirm it is in utf 8 I broke many pages for months there, and refrained from editing many others, and wrote all french pages without any accents.

I also noticed during the logo contest, that some people were messing pages as well, so obviously some people are still using them (recommand Netscape 7 for Mac OS 9).

I really fear we will have to check very carefully any newbie contribution, and perhaps tell them to go away. I hope we consider this carefully, before switching everything. I understand there would be some benefits. But perhaps some drawbacks as well. Any relevant number (of non utf supporting browser) might be interesting. Imho.
