I think your proposal is pointless.  Why having a UTF-8 encoding when
page content is 7bit ASCII?  I mean, entities are not encoded by WML,
right now.  A "ñ" entity is written out in a *.html.es file as is=20
and not as "~n".

IMHO, we should definetly use UFT-8 for both source and compiled files. =20
It's true, translators have to use UTF-8 enabled text editors, but this=20
is the encoding for the future and more and more text editors are going=20
to support it.
