It's still UTF-8 in practice. It's just IMO not the job of parsers of this sort to start enforcing or translating the character set of strings. All the parser has to look for is \" " and \\. I can care that this is UTF-8 when I need to, and not care otherwise. I didn't start replacing commas with null bytes or ridiculous crap like that.
