in thread Special & Accented chars in nodes titles ==> [à la française]

It just stores byte strings without bothering with encodings. And I'm glad.

You should. IMHO, The choice of simplicity is always the best.

Now I just need to write conversion code (and I think a regex will be easier than porting Encode to PerlMonks, but we'll see).

Be careful not forget what you're glad for ;-). Ie. you'll need bi-directional encoding [browser (???)] <==> [storage (utf8)] here.

you'll need to use HTML entities for accented characters in the text

...and Latin-1 for the title. I'll try to use proper encoding!
