I thought it was?  Or at least, I thought LFS was UTF-8-ready.  (I don't
think we want to enforce UTF-8 on everyone, though.)

With a perfect setup, the XML could produce some scripts that you could
read.  In fact, I bet this is what several of the *alfs projects do (or
did, or can do).  ;-)

Of course, hacking on the scripts and then trying to merge the results
back into the XML might be painful...
