Re: 12. Are C1 controls and Unicode non-characters disallowed?

 > Windows-1252 content that gets interpreted as UTF-8 will often end up 
with an illegal character.  Irritating as it is, I think this can be 
seen as a real benefit to developers since they get an early fail.

Problem is (a) many developers don't see it as a benefit to be told that 
incoming content over which they have no control is unacceptable, and 
(b) they shoot the messenger - that is, the piece of software that gives 
them the bad news.
