A question for the non-English wiki contributors out there: Do you honestly care that MediaWiki shows byte counts and not character counts? If so, why do you care?
If the count itself is useful (I don't think it is), then it is probably way more useful when it's remotely accurate.
Of course, if the inaccuracy doesn't matter, then perhaps we could just display random numbers next to the changes. That might be just as helpful, and will save us a lot of trouble.
