Well, at some point I'd have to deal with it, anyway, if it's supposed to become part of the core VDR code. So I'd rather do it myself now.
Sure, but if doing it yourself means not doing it properly, why not let someone else who's willing to do the work, do it the right way? That makes much more sense then writing some kind of hybrid method that requires more long-term maintenance. At the end of the day, not liking something just isn't a good reason to prevent making better design choices.
All I want is to have a VDR that properly behaves according to the character set on the system it's running on. If that system is set to UTF-8, VDR shall use UTF-8. If it's set to iso8859-1 it shall use iso8859-1 etc. I can't see anything wrong with that.
