the explanation of the -utf8 option doesn't make sense, does it?
<quote src="http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/req.html";>
-utf8
this option causes field values to be interpreted as UTF8 strings, by default they
are interpreted as ASCII. This means that the field values, whether prompted from a
terminal or obtained from a configuration file, must be valid UTF8 strings.
<quote>
ASCII is a proper subset of UTF-8, rendering the -utf8 totally
superfluous?
i guess what is meant is ISO 8859-1 instead of ASCII?
(ISO 8859-1 and UTF-8 are conflicting encodings, whereas ASCII and UTF-8
are not.)
