(1) UTF-8 practically only works for english texts, and does not work with ae oe ue and so on
That's wrong. UTF-8 works for *every* character. You only must use it correctly - and that's not so easy :-)
By default giving a browser an UTF-8 document, it will send forms encoded in UTF-8 too, but Cocoon expects ISO-8859-1. You can change his by setting the form encoding correctly.
