I assume all non-european people will not be happy about this.
Is there any reason why we can't use UTF-8?  Or at least store
somewhere which 8bit charset is use?   8 bit char sets are a mess
and should be avoided whereever possible.

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.

This is a main problem with IPTC. It doesn't support UTF8 ! Alternative is XMP
metadata.
