This thread being about the encoding of haskell source files, not hackage's, I don't see the point in talking about restricting hackage's langage to English. - it is not the topic - it's already a de-facto standard anyways. On the other hand, not restricting the usage of any langage in haskell source files is IMHO a must, and it's not well supported as it is; for example haddock does't support accentuated letters in comments. This proposal gives a clear signal that utf8 characters have to be taken into account, and hopefully tools like haddock will evolve to support them thanks to this proposal.
