yeah, but most people wouldn't like that would they, if everything else did
work perfectly without in the past. not sure this would create acceptance.

if you want to do conversion then you could argue that (at least currently the
conversion should be done the other way around, ie have files directly
readable by LaTeX, eg in its current LICR, and have the perl convert those
files to utf8 (not problem bidirectional) for, say omega if they would be
useful there.

--- by the way, are they useful? (guess i asked that before)
