If we get rid of the switch, then I agree that we can't make the default
string IS_UNICODE. We would be crippling the implementation and taking
a step backwards in terms of leading the way in Unicode adoption. The
longterm goal for just about everyone has got to be a "Unicode
everywhere" approach. It used to be that the Web was primarily a
Western single-byte charset phenomena, but that hasn't been the case for
years. All major applications out there have implemented various hacks
to deal with these issues, some with more success than others.
