I'm all in favor of moving to full utf-8, but there are still problems with popular browsers that break on UTF-8 chars. (See the Help page on meta.) We need a transparent conversion to/from latin1 to allow known bad browsers (or not known good) to work with something safer, eg latin1 + numeric references.
