This alone shows you don't know enouth about UTF-8 to talk about it. 
UTF-8 will NEVER use < 128 chars to describe multibyte chars. When you 
parse a UTF-8 file, each space is a space, each \n is an end of line and 
each 'Z' is a 'Z'.

Ever heard of the famous "cut/paste"? I use it all the time, even when 
handling standard ASCII english code. It greatly cuts down my ability to 
make some typo while writing code.
