OK, OK. Maybe multilingual content is not so "rare". Anyway, that's not
my point. As you can see, I immediately followed that comment with a
question to Glen, asking whether *he* needs multilingual content for his
*current* project.
The point being, if he doesn't need multilingual content, then he will
be better off using non-UTF-8 pages, since there are problems with UTF-8
on certain browser versions, as I explained (but perhaps my email didn't
reach all of you, due to mailing list server problems).
If this email makes it out there, I may try to resend my earlier
attempts.
