Would it be sensible and acceptable to have xterm default to 
using the encoding of the user's locale at startup?  Seems to be 
several ways of forcing UTF-8 to on, however I'm curious why it 
doesn't just detect the locale by default and use UTF-8 if in a 
.UTF-8 locale.

If this sounds like a good idea, could it be changed in 4.2.99.x?  

If it isn't a good idea, or isn't something to be considered for 
4.3.0, and someone could explain why, that'd be appreciated as 
well, as this is something that many people have asked for, so 
I'd like to provide them an 'officialish' explanation if it wont 
go in.
