Doesn't that concerns only BibTex entry? One could use this good old LaTeX encoding for them — 'e, \ss or "o and other special characters.
Yes...although you should use {"o} in BibTeX, I think. The point was that various parts of LaTeX/BibTeX are not compatible with UTF-8, although accented characters in labels aren't compatible with any encoding.
BibDesk even allow automatic and customizable conversion of UTF8 characters to such strings.
