For the record, I don't want Latin-1 because it's my favorite encoding. It
isn't. Guido's right: I can't even *use* it derictly on my platform. I want
it *only* because it's the most logical 8-bit subset of Unicode -- as we
have stated over and opver and over and over again. What's so hard to
understand about this?
