Such questions almost always stand at the edge of the applicative
level; what Thomas is requesting -if I understood him well- is that
since we use UTF-8 by default (and it's not like we have a choice,
since ODF is XML based) we have to care about the issues related to
glyphs that are not easily represented. I thus see this as an
extension of ODF's support of UTF-8.
