That is a fair statement. Maybe some of our friends who are using
Quixote in non-English contexts could enlighten us a bit.

Apparently, making the charset in the Content-Type header settable to
utf-8 is enough to allow running a basic Japanese Quixote application,
presumably not using PTL or Quixote forms or htmltext.  It isn't clear
whether Yasushi is running Python with its default encoding set to
utf-8.

Is there actually someplace where Quixote's output gets encoded as
iso-8859-1, or is that just a bluff?
