I would be inclined to agree as well.

Quite right. In fact those whom choose to /not/ implement it will be missing a
large portion of the internet. Really, great strides have been taken in almost
every other area; DNS, HTTPd, SMTP, IMAP, etc... to accommodate UTF. In fact,
at the current rate of development/adoption it seems unlikely that applications
will build/run /without/ UTF support. So why wouldn't/shouldn't PHP also support
it by default.
In short; I quite agree, UTF is not some novel addition - but rather;
a necessary feature.
