The advantage of making UTF-8 the default encoding at each step in the 
life cycle is you don't have to remember when to specify UTF-8 encoding 
and when not to.  Still, the most important thing is making sure to 
document clearly what the default encoding is at each step so the user 
knows what is happening.
