My point was that, had the mistake of introducing ISO-8859 support not been made (i.e. if bytes 128-255 had remained considered as "unprintable" at the time), there would have been both much more incentive to get UTF-8 working quickly, and much less of an obstacle (the tendancy of applications to treat these bytes as textual characters).
So people who needed to use computers in their native tongue shouldn't have been able to do so unless they were willing to undertake a huge project to get a huge multibyte character set working?
