Lars> Asger and I agrees.

I do not see what the point is. Either the translation between utf8
and something else is trivial and we have iconv to do it from within
the code, or it is not trivial and we have to write ugly scripts
outside of LyX where we have less context about the encoding of
strings.

To take an example, assume that one has a document in russian and
hebrew. The encoding of the output can be changed depending on the
language of the different parts of the text. This is not something
that can be done from external tools.

I do not see which doing things internally would be so difficult.

And seriously, nobody will be pleased when you tell them that our TeX
files are utf8. This is not a good encoding for latex now.
