I've considered this, but there are a lot of systems out there that
are not using utf-8, and this would cause even more problems. Perhaps
tying this to dabo.defaultEncoding might give us enough flexibility
for those using different encodings.
Can anyone out there who is using something other than utf-8 verify
that this will also work in their systems?
