As long as a product support UTF-8 and pass the test with MES-1, I can
pretty sure that no code in between strip off any non ISO-8859-1

Of course, that does not guarantee surrogate characters won't get
damanaged, but just as someone believe, it will be <1% of efforts for me
to fix it later, right? :)

Doesn't the same apply to any Unicode 4.0 character, except that fonts
and some special shaping functions (which are a font or rendering engine
matter anyway) may not be available for some scripts? So we are back,
more or less, to the concept I had a day or two ago of a system able to
support the whole of Unicode 4.0 when the necessary fonts are installed.
But then what about QA of each individual UTF-8 character, which you
seemed to claim was necessary?
