Good discussion.  I went ahead and quietly added UTF-8 support to my ProEXR 
plug-ins for Photoshop and After Effects.  Better to let the user read and 
write everything and then leave it up to them to decide if they actually want 
to do it.

I also made a sample image with UTF-8 channels and a string attribute.  I hope 
a better one will be added to the official samples sometime.  Here's mine:

The layer names are:

한국어 (Korean)
日本語 (Chinese)
תירבע (Hebrew, which often gets reversed when you copy/paste)
€☺ξ (misc. unicode)

The string attribute contains:

虎穴に入らずんば虎子を得ず (Japanese)
