I'm not sure if this is an issue for us or not, as we're generally 
language-neutral, and I don't see any technical issues with any of the 
UTF-* encodings having headroom problems.

It does argue for abstracting out the string handling code a bit so it can 
be replaced without completely rebuilding perl, but I'm not sure that it's 
that strong an argument. (Though it would be nice to upgrade perl from 
Unicode 3.1 to 3.2 with the equivalent of a module upgrade rather than a 
full rebuild)
