Many people expect contrary. That's the reason why the
UTF8/16 discussions come up so often.
The above is just proving that UTF-8 works with nearly no
special code because of its ansistring compatibility.

Yes.
Here are the main differences:
the laz_XXX units use plain ansistrings, which work with
UTF-8. The IDE and LCL use UTF-8 too. They are often much faster. But
they lack some DOM features. They are only tested and maintained for
simple xml documents.
