then the question is where is that crypt really used for?
For moving files? I don't think so, but it is used for encoding urls
And what does that mean when we are transforming to bytes using utf8?

I'm not sure, why it is better use utf-8 instead of the OS default.
That's because most production environments are run on different OS:s
than the development environment, and so also the default encodings
can differ. Depending of the default encoding simply breaks too much
stuff when moving files between environments.
A
reason why the OS default could be better is because many text editors
save the file with OS encoding (xml files with <?xml?> are an
exception). In case you don't have any hint which encoding was used,
the assumption that it was the OS value, IMO it is a valid assumption.
Always when you can not know the encoding of the file, there is a
potentially millions of tricky encoding bugs. It's so much simpler to
use utf-8 everywhere than twist with default encodings. Specially when
moving files between os:s. When everything is in utf-8, you don't have
to guess.
Hmm, but utf-8 is default for xml, isn't it. That basically means, you
can not use a simple text editor to create a xml file, because e.g.
german umlaute are represented differently in utf-9 and iso8859-1.
Yes, and that's a good thing. It's year 2005, and there is no really
any reason to use iso8859-1 anymore.
