Well, the usecase I can provide is that we have a site with content in ISO9959-1 (Latin 1).

Thanks for the data point. Out of curiosity, what language is the site in, and where are you based? One of the things missing from Latin-1 is the Euro symbol (because it wasn't invented yet), so I'm guessing your site doesn't need that?

I also find the usage of both functions in one of our most important Open Source libraries. How important they are there I don't know.

Can you point me to the library in question? I'd be interested to see how they're using it. Regards, -- Rowan Tommins [IMSoP]
