I have to put in my two cents here. I can't see any reason why one _wouldn't_ want to use UTF-8 over plain-ol' ASCII. It's a totally different ball game than localization; I just want my users to be able to input data using their own native characters. What app doesn't have a "full name" field for a user? Shouldn't your users be able to input their name properly? :) Besides implementation issues, I can't see any real downside to supporting UTF-8 out of the box in Rails. It would sure avoid a lot of potential issues...
