This UTF stuff is not my thing, and I have a hard time following all the discussion here (read: I don't get it)... but it sounds like good changes. Could one of the other Lucene committers following this thread apply the patches and commit the stuff if it looks good? Perhaps this is something we should do between 1.9 and 2.0, since the patch will make the new indices incompatible, and breaking the compatibility at version 2.0 would be okay, while 1.9 should remain compatible with 1.4.3 indices and just have a bunch of methods deprecated. If some job changes work out for me, I may have some time to make the 1.9 release.
