Yes, I know.

I agree with you here. There is one problem though. I do not have a good
editor that works with utf-8 (vim does not support it as by now :). It's not
possible to configure the working environment to comply with ru_RU.UTF-8 (one
reason is that glibc does not correctly support multi-byte locales). So for
preparing Russian file I would need to convert it from KOI8-R (as I use this
character set) into UTF-8 and only then try to validate the resulting file.
I have no problems with that. Should I do it that way?
