Well looks kinda nonsense this report. If it passes UTF-8 and the output is UTF-8, there is no need to change åäö to entities like åäö which are very usefull in 7bit-Ascii. Anyway 7bit-Ascii is compatible with UTF-8, but, hmm, I would really prefer to see this all UTF-8 compatbile.

As long as no more Info is added I would like to see this ticket closed because this is not a bug.

+1. reviewed again. main argument for me is, there is no need to convert UTF-8 characters to their unicode html entities.
