a) We have no way to convert all the gopherspace to utf8, assuming utf8

content sniffing to tell utf8 apart from ISO8859-*. But, as utf8 is
quite new compared to gopher, I'm not sure it is even a good idea to use
utf8 (although I do use it myself): wouldn't it break older clients as
well?

My only retort to this is that UTF-8
drgrades gracefully to ISO-8859-1
