Hey Rob!

Do you mean like the 'ignoring' of 0x8d as opposed to deleting it?  Anyhow for
my part it really doesn't matter as there is no consequences for 'ignoring'
ftsc standards with utf-8.  With or without it is still utf8 ... unless of
course there are any 0x8d trailing bytes which will the be stripped and then
the kludge will be wrong.

Life is good,
Maurice
