For purity, no. For practicality, perhaps. It might be that some tools don't know how to unpack files marked as UTF-8, and always default to the system code page. OTOH, before accepting such a change, I'd like to know what actual existing tool would require such a hack, and a confirmation that this very tool indeed does not support UTF-8.
