Agreed.  I fixed two such instances earlier today; I'm not aware of  
any others offhand, but that certainly doesn't mean they don't exist.

My commit message, btw, "Among other potential problems, it  
completely breaks '''genstrings''' causing all strings in that file  
to be missing from the Localizable.strings file" is not entirely  
accurate.  It turns out that booting with English as a primary  
language UTF8 does not break genstrings, but booting with other  
languages -- Simplified Chinese I know, and presumably therefore  
Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and others -- does; I was booted in  
Simplified Chinese (working on the log viewer problem in #5026) at  
the time I noticed the problem.  Given that OS X or tools which ship  
with it can't handle UTF8 in all localizations (ick), an ASCII-only  
policy is the best way to ensure that our code base is entirely  
useable by developers from anywhere in the world.
