A small set of *random* people will likely have different locales. But
a project that would use non-ascii filenames would probably use some
particular language and thus be run by people that all speak that 
language --
which means they are not random at all and probably will use the same 
locale.

I was still in referernce to those "local conditions" at that point. It was 
not meant as a universal statement. Substitutute that for "A small bunch of 
swedish speaking people from Stockholm".
