I imagine a chinese programmer using maybe a different code page or maybe some other character set for coding... then it might make more sense to have the complete torrent in utf8 for example. But with the _utf8 fields etc... those could be added to comments etc as well... This will just create duplicate fields... it's not that bad since the largest part of the torrent consists out of piece hashes. Though adding the _utf8 fields is the best way to keep compatibility.
