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? It's in swedish and I'm located in Sweden.
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? No, we are not using that one. In one specific case for payment we just write euro ;-)
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. Yes, it's the Revive Ad server. At the moment we are on v4, going for v5.4 as soon it's released.
