Annoyingly even if you "know" you're only going to be using western 
European scripts, there's still no guarantee that users' input will map 
directly to iso-8859-1 without coercion, thanks to win-1252 mapping 
several widely used characters (the apostrophe being the most egregious 
case) to codepoints in the U+2XXX range, despite there often being 
perfectly serviceable ASCII homoglyphs.

Smart quotes my foot.
