I'd like to hear exact proposals what to change instead of "shouldn't just stop writing". What exactly we should change? Should we check for every character produced by every extension that it fits to UTF-8 properly? Is it truly our job to repair extension bugs? I do not think so, sorry :( If extension produce wrong output, this is not TYPO3 fault.

Yes. They take any charset into consideration. Look at t3lib/class.t3lib_cs.php.

TYPO3 can use mb_string automatically. Check Install tool.
