    Converting UTF-8 to UTF-8 is harmless. The problem is
    that nobody seems to know or check what encoding a
    string uses at any time. In this case we're
    converting
    from ISO-8859-X to UTF-8, then converting from
    ISO-8859-X to UTF-8 again, getting the source
    encoding wrong the second time. Argh! ):
