In OpenEXR 2.0, how about coming up with a formal position as to whether channel names and string attributes are considered UTF-8?
If we want to do as little as possible, I think it'd be good to at least include something in the docs like "use UTF-8 at your own risk" or maybe take a tougher stance like "all text in OpenEXR files should be ASCII". I want to know if I should expect UTF-8 or can just ignore it. Right now I'm sure some writers are storing UTF-8 and some readers are treating it as ASCII. Also, maybe a new "encodedStringAttribute" should be added where the encoding is stored? Would people use such a thing?
