Heh.  I've no idea what JS RE engine does when it *meets* different
encodings (but I'd love to find out, so do tell me if you know the
answer), hence the idea of that ugly piece of code was to make it work
in both UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1.  So far it seems to do the job.

More to the point, it was never a problem for us.o updates of the
script; the multi-encodings ugliness is pretty old and never hindered
the updates before.

Yes it does.

Thanks,
