Interestingly enough, ww information interchange is working very
well with local character sets.

The reason is because only people sharing a language, a scripting
system and a character encoding system join each exchange, regardless
of whether it is ww or intranational.

For example, ww IETF communication is with English, Latin script and
ASCII. Introduction of ISO-8859-1 or Unicode does not make IETF use
Finnish.

Your attempt to put ISO-8859-1 characters is not acceptable for me
and your mail is filtered to be pure ASCII by my mailer, which is
fair because many of us have no way to input non-ASCII ISO-8859-1
characters.
