Note that this is not an argument for ISO-8859-x and against UTF-8.
LaTeX should work *as well* with
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
as with
\usepackage[latinx]{inputenc}
for Latin-x languages. I've been using UTF-8 with LaTeX (with mostly
Latin-1 repertoire documents) for some time now, and haven't had any
problems.
The problems occurs with non-Western scripts, which (La)TeX were not
designed to handle.
