 Re: UTF, UNICODE technical (long)

If you go for Latin-1, then you need a mechanism to identify the message as Latin-1 or as UNCIODE. If you use UCS, then you probably cannot maintain downward compatibility. You will also get new problems when at some point in the future characters up to U+10ffff should be supported.
