True. Perhaps this could be worked around by using \uNNNN in the
msgid fields (does gettext support this? should it?) so that the msgid
part of the .po file is ASCII, even though the msgid itself is UTF-8.
For iso-codes a comment could be added, giving the msgid in the native
coding for the .po file (or perhaps an ASCII-ized version like
"Aaland"), so that people could read the msgid.
