UTF-8

[thiakil]

I think that the grabbers should be modified to output utf-8, instead of iso-8859-1, as there are some characters that aren't encodable in such.

It's rare but as an example, some SBS texts contain typographical quotes (U+2018, U+2019), which don't exist directly in the iso encoding.

I agree with this. One caution, note that the handling of character encoding in the shepherd program chain presumes iso-8859-1 so the whole chain needs updating not just the grabbers or wierdness occurs. But this should be a moderate priority.
