Do you think we should do UTF-8 to x converters for all the formats we
use, or just Latin-1?  We could go use the Greek & Hebrew ISO standards
too, plus KOI8 for Cyrillic translations.

What should happen if you want to access a text that uses characters
outside of Latin-1, like the BHS or a Chinese/Japanese translation, from
iraeneus?
