I do not believe that anyone was seriously advocating multiple blessed encodings. The main question is *which* encoding to bless. 99+% of text I encounter is in US-ASCII, so I would favor UTF-8. Why is UTF-16 better for me?
All software I write professional have to support 40 languages (including CJK ones) so I would prefer UTF-16 in case I could use Haskell at work some day in the future. I dunno that who uses what encoding the most is good grounds to pick encoding though. Ease of implementation and speed on some representative sample set of text may be. -- Johan
