What if you want to alter the case of the data or use it a basis for sending
e-mail or check it against another string via regular expression? Sure, if
you just want to read them and echo them back in the form of a table you
don't need mbstring.
It also seems to me that if you are going to be multibyte inputs you'd have
either iconv or mbstring extension enabled.
