Ok, well it's not as if we disappeared from the planet... 

The UTF8 work came out of work done on the OLPC/eToys, check with Bert

You need to carefully check that some of the UTF8 encoders/decoder methods, or 
classes actually DO make UTF8 
One of them lied and did a UTF8ToMacRoman or was that UTF8ToLatin1 conversion 
when it claimed a UTF8ToUnicode32. 

In Sophie because we wrote it's own storage subsystem we could ensure that all 
textual data going to storage was UTF8, and
all text coming in was UTF8->WideStrings.   Also all references to external 
resources were made into URI that were UTF8 and http encoded safe.
Mind we did have a tiny disagreements at times about unicode characters and 
encoding in URLs between Safari and FireFox, never was quite 
sure who had the bug.
