You got the point. You will have multibytes in unicode and multibytes plus
html around it.

 BP> programmers dont understand double encodeing problems

You can't blame a standard for that. There will be programmers that don't
understand html too.

 BP> and unicode solve that much better then html, hmm

I never said that. You must have the multibyte sequence to define the symbol.
Why adding memory space and cpu requiring htmltags around it? I don't see the
advantage.
