 There are only a few places that directory documents can have arbitrary
 bytes today, and almost nobody is using them to encode anything besides
 UTF-8.  let's standardize on UTF-8 while we still can.

 Step one will be for the authorities to start rejecting these documents.
 Once they're rejecting them, everybody else can begin rejecting them too.
