I don't think so... It solved a problem at the time because utf8 wasn't
being handled correctly.. It sounds like BS is a little more forgiveing
now. It's probably worth checking on a page with lots of umlauts,
cedillas, graves, acutes, etc just to ensure we're not getting any
cross-encoding errors. If that works fine then it should be OK.
