I wouldn't think so. There are still enough situations where an 8 bit  
encoding is sufficient. Therefore, for example, the ISO Latin-10 or  
ISO 8859-16 encoding was created recently. Did you try to express  
(print) UTF-8 in PostScript? Is it necessary to use an unmaintained  
TeX tool like ucs that only supports more or less the first 64 K  
characters? Can you copy&paste or search for UTF-8 characters in  
these texts in the PDF viewer? (I haven't tried yet ... missing some  
source)

par masochisme.
