Stuck with utf-8? Shouldn't you want to use utf-8 anyway?
you'd want to use it utf-8 because it's the only reliable option to prevent xss attacks, or why would someone want to do more post-processing(conversion, custom-filtering) if another option such as unicode was reliable, all operating systems do support it, but the browsers technology forces you to stay on utf-8.. so sometimes what you want is not really an option, it's what you have to do ...
