No case -insensitive searching, random broken chars with specific markup, 
incompatibilities with many reciepts (most of them are using the limited 
single-byte PHP string functions) and many others.
After three years using PmWiki I cannot even remember how many utf8 related 
problems I've encountered. I don't blame PmWiki though, it's the damned PHP 
which knows nothing about Unicode, UTF-8 and anything but single byte 
strings.

After all these issues I had to decide to stay with PmWiki for my intranet's 
needs or switch to dokuwiki which handles utf-8 better than any other wiki.
Despite the problems I had, I do prefer PmWiki than anything else, therefore 
I'm going back to iso-8859-7 which seems to work flawlessly with the current 
php versions.

Don't know about 8859-1, but the rest iso-8859-xx encoded XLPages definitely 
need an xlpage-iso-8859-xx.php or an $HTTPHeaders assignment in config.php.
