As a french translator of the apache docs, I would love to not be
running scripts like below at commit time, and the revert script when I
want to edit the XML file again. If UTF-8 would prevent us from running
these scripts, this would be a good thing for us. I cannot speak for
German/Korean/other translators, but I must suppose they have met some
similar conversion things.

Example script :
sed -e 's/À/\À/g' \
-e 's/Ç/\Ç/g' \
-e 's/È/\È/g' \
-e 's/É/\É/g' \
-e 's/Ê/\Ê/g' \
-e 's/Î/\Î/g' \
-e 's/Ù/\Ù/g' \
-e 's/Û/\Û/g' \
-e 's/à/\à/g' \
-e 's/â/\â/g' \
-e 's/ä/\ä/g' \
-e 's/æ/\æ/g' \
-e 's/ç/\ç/g' \
-e 's/è/\è/g' \
-e 's/é/\é/g' \
-e 's/ê/\ê/g' \
-e 's/ë/\ë/g' \
-e 's/ô/\ô/g' \
-e 's/Ô/\Ô/g' \
-e 's/î/\î/g' \
-e 's/ï/\ï/g' \
-e 's/ù/\ù/g' \
-e 's/û/\û/g' \
-e 's/ü/\ü/g' \
etc.
