A stringlist is not LCL and it does not expect anything but strings.
If you write the contents of a stringlist to a file you get bytes you

There may be other places, but this applies at least to every RTL system

annoying, but not insurmountable. And when the new Unicode string is
fully implemented these code-page-related woes will fade into history
(well, that's the theory).
