ASCII (i.e., chars in the range 0x20-0x7F) is always there. Latin-1
is the default 8bit encoding for the western world, but this is an
artificial limitation in today's global communication. UTF-8 is the
future, and browsers are becoming sophisticated enough to handle it
gracefully. For example, XML uses UTF-8 by default.
In any case, you should always try to design your tmac.www to be
independent from the encoding (for example -- if you ever need it --
use macros like `\(:u' to get an `u umlaut' glyph instead of the
Latin-1 code position 252. grohtml will this eventually translate to
the SGML entity ü which is valid in any encoding).
