The worst problem for a documentation tool such as pmwiki it the searching 
case sensitivity issue. In a university intranet I'm using pmwiki to publish 
more than 8.000 pages of text (ancient Greek literature indexes). Students 
complain that they have to search using the exact case to be able to find 
all text occurrences. I'm sure you understand the problem.

As already told before, there are many other issues with utf-8, most of them 
with reciepts. Given the fact that most reciepts use single byte regex, 
utf-8 issues is something expected. However I know that you cannot do 
anything for that, except maybe consider using utf-8 as the single-one 
default encoding for pmwiki core.
