I really think the log files should be UTF-8.  The point is to make
them as ASCII as possible, but if you've got readable garbage that you
want to log, it should be readable.  People who lack the fonts or
whatever wouldn't be able to read it anyway; people who can will be
able to convert the UTF-8 to something they can use.

If the garbage doesn't seem to be readable (eg, naked 8-bit crap in
the headers) then it should be BASE64'd in the logs.
