Oh, that's easy.   There's characters in Big5 and EUC (if I remember
correctly) that don't exist in UCS...
Although since both Japan and China are moving to Unicode and other
languages are pretty much fully supported it's kind of a nonissue.

Incidentally I've got for converting different code forms.  It got too
bulky at ~1mb of sourcecode, so I just use iconv() (which was more
accurate than mine :) when necessary or just work entirely in UTF/UCS4...

G'day, eh? :)

(and explaining from your -source- is what's needed to prove this.  I'm
afraid unless you can prove that UTF8 -isn't- a valid encoding for your
app it's not a libxml issue.  And claiming lazyness isn't the solution...)
