Mike,

I resisted calling it FTF-8 (Funky Transfer Format - 8), but if you want to
call it Weird Transfer Format - 8, I don't have any real objections.

If you have this funny encoding please don't call it UTF8 because it is not
UTF8 and will only confuse users. You could call it OTF8 or something like
that but not UTF8.

        How about "WTF-8"?

        Sorry - I couldn't resist.
