When creating content there are two encodings. ASCII and UTF-8. Let us  
forget about this legacy ISO-8859 series until such time as we have to  
parse content that people insist on producing in it - and then we  
shall tell Buffy and Willow that they are forbidden from taking their  
ponies to deliver beer to those people until they mend their wicked  
ways.

(It's been a weird evening for me, OK?)
