Of course you're right. And fortunately I have the option to make the
neccessary utf-8 conversion at development time. We're using the CIPP
preprocessor for our projects which I'm planning to extend with a custom
tag for the l10n stuff anyway, so the utf-8 conversion can be done by
the preprocessor at "compile time". This way Locale::TextDomain sees
utf-8 characters only in the message id's and everything should just
work.
