If all your special characters are encoded as entities, then you're not 
really in utf-8, you're in ASCII.

Well, I'm thinking if something like this should happen, it should be 
in the form of import/export hooks. But I wonder 1) why do you think 
that browsers can't handle utf-8 w/o the use of entities? and 2) if you 
really do not trust browsers, wouldn't it be easier just to keep 
everything in utf-8 and have either the server convert your pages to 
entities when they are served, or a script when you export/upload a 
site?
