Just wanted to chime in and thank you for offering these alternative  
versions! Our editorial staff have wrestled with this same issue, and  
this will make a big difference!

I suppose if you wanted to integrate these into a future version of  
XXE, you would need to make the new version detect when old  
(ISO-8859-1) dictionaries are present and automatically convert them  
to UTF-8 at first launch. I certainly believe it would be a worthwhile  
change.
