Unfortunately, UTF-8 doesn't work for Japanese in some cases.  For  
example Mac IE (still used by all those poor souls still stuck on OS  
9), shows lots of wacky characters.  And trying to code a page full  
of nonsense characters, then use iConv everytime you upload -- not  
exactly a smooth workflow :-(

Why do you say it won't happen?  Are you one of the developers?   
Remember, Japan is a huge (possibly #2) market for the web so this  
isn't some obscure out in left field feature ;-)

Cheers,
Sean
