May be we should think "UTF-8 encoding" instead of "UTF-8 charset"!
What we all need at first, IMHO, is to be able to work in UTF-8 mode
only: UTF-8 streams everywhere, like in Plan9. The charset range is
not that important at this moment. It is a matter of pre-processing
(input methods) or post-processing (display methods), which could be
kernel modules, isn't it?

In my case I never think about excluding our Japanese friends, or
even any other UTF-8 concerned people! Any implementation should
keep in mind that it should work for *anybody* as soon as possible,
even if we can not make it work right now; make the code extensible!
