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.

Thanks, I was supposed to check myself, but you beat me to it! From a cursory look: - some calls are wrapped in a function_exists check and are lower priority then mbstring or iconv. - some are surely inappropriate usages. If not 5.4.0, I'll make sure the matter is fully taken care of in a subsequent release. So please, I'm all for burning utf8_en/decode with fire in 9.0.
