Part of the accessibility/usability issue is that Bugzilla currently destroyes non-ISO-8859-1 characters. This is related to the fact that the Bugzilla installation currently uses ISO-8859-1 as its character encoding. Since we are issuing a spec which encourages everyone to use UTF-8 and which also warns against problems related to forms when UTF-8 isn't used, perhaps that could be fixed as part of Laura's request/bug? Ways to meet this: EITHER set bugzilla up to serve pages as UTF-8. AND/OR make sure that form input is treated as UTF-8. If none of that is possible, the please do at least warn users against typing in non-ISO-8859-1 character in input.
