Yes, I'm here in Japan with thousands of Kanji characters ;-)

Okay, I understood. I think a new config var should be used for
encoding attribute to generate html/xml.

Yeah. Maybe we should get it so the xml rewriting hack occurs only for
specific user agents (Radio + Frontier).

Hmm. Actually I don't think both meanings overlap: Radio users won't ever be
able to participate in an UTF-8 PyCS, because they barely can produce Latin1 ;-)

But you are right we should clarify this. I asked Yasushi Iwata to join us here
