Sorry if I'm wrong, but doesn't this apply to more applications than web 
browsers and terminals? I can imagine that practically all applications 
that work with (plain text) documents or output have to deal with this. 
(Not that I know how to solve this, when there are more encodings used 
than only Unicode..)
