Note that there are still lots of packages that don't work with utf8.
For instance, listings and soul are two very common and useful
packages that do not support unicode.
I agree that listings is a very important package (BTW: What does soul
do?). However, what does "listings does not support unicode" mean? Does
it mean that
(a) latex breaks if we use non-ASCII characters_within_ a listing or
(b) latex breaks if we _declare_ the document as UTF-8 and use UTF-8
characters _outside_ of listings?
Listings (at least mine) typically contain ASCII characters only (i.e.,
programming code). If (a) holds, I am all for UTF-8 output only.
In summary and IMHO: let's keep the core C++ LyX simple and only
support utf8.
That's a good point!
