I did a quick test with gedit and totem, which da.po files already have a Unicode ellipsis and quotation marks, respectively, and they worked fine with LANG=da_DK.iso-8859-1. I can't guarantee it working 100% of the time (I don't know how the internals work here), but I do think we are safe in this case. Besides, I can't imagine why you would need to run GNOME on anything other than UTF-8. I'd be interested to learn about any use cases, though.
