My personal opinion is that RDoc should be in US-ASCII, unless
explicitly specified otherwise.

My personal opinion is that RDoc should be in US-ASCII, unless
explicitly specified otherwise.

Currently HTML output encoding is set to UTF-8. Most english-speaking
people expect to be able to use UTF-8 these days as their editors
support it.

What should happen when a project has comments in one file that is
UTF-8 and another that is non-UTF-8?

I think that the non-UTF-8 comments should be converted to the UTF-8
(or whatever the output encoding is set to).
