I have utf-8 related problem too.
Listing address would need some onfly conversion and ordering so that
A*A"O" would be rendered aftex Y
not like

Aaltonen
O"berg
A*lund
Allberg

but


Aaltonen
Allberg
A*lund
O"berg

because in utf8 names, which start with A* and O" are stored so that they 
start with accented A.
