In the case of ISO 8859-1 characters outside the ASCII
range (e.g. á, é,
ñ, ç, etc) it actually needs more space, 1 byte versus 2 bytes, I think.
Nevertheless nl: has few of these characters when compared with es: or fr:.
those are 128 characters, which get 1 byte bigger, yes. Also there are many
characters, which get smaller, as the HTML-Entities are 6-8 Byte long, the
same in UTF-8 is only 3-4 Byte. And don't forget links like [[Lodz|Łódź]]: 28
byte before, 14 Byte after (maybe little different..). Same for all
Interwiki-Links to non-latin Wikipedias and even for many east-european WPs.
On DE: (known to have a massive use of ä, ö ü and ß) we had no visible grow
with the conversion.
