Chris, this is so great, thank you so much.
But do you think it would be possible to convert the remaining latin1 modules 
to UTF-8?
I have 2 reasons:
a) they won't blow up much, ideally they'll stay the same size (e.g. english 
text)
b) this will make the implementation of a new search engine much easier, 
handling different encoding schemes will unnecessarily complicate things.

When this is done we can put away the encoding= tag.
You could just change the filter to UTF8Latin1 if you think this is 
neccessary and helpful for the frontends.
