No, I didn't say so. What I said is that the practice of using
characters besides ASCII without a specification of how the
server will interpret them is not guaranteed to work. In the
case of Canada, it will work in many cases because iso-8859-1
is well established there in the context of the web. However,
it will not work worldwide.
