Starting at the most basic level, is there any good reason not to use utf-8 as the basic encoding standard for everything including plain-text? Transforming to and from there into any other encoding is I think a pretty well-trod path by now.
No. The other encodings are just a big PITA. The last OS that didn't support Unicode was Windows 3.1. Anybody still using that one? The PG website already offers UTF-8 text only. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
