    FYI, we are well aware of this shortcoming (modified UTF-8), and with
    each release try to mitigate it even further. The problem is that it is
    so deep in the code (note that it is since Java 1.0) that it is not easy
    to eliminate without breaking a lot of existing stuff, something that
    the Java team strive to avoid.
