Dynamic data on html pages requires a translation utf8->html entities
as implemented by:
http://wiki.tcl.tk/HTML character entity references
Example: Ö (\u00d6) -> "Ö"
Would it possible to implement html entities as a tcl encoding, so one
may do:
% encoding convertto html "Österreich"
Österreich
Is this a helpful idea ?

The result is 7-bit ASCII.
7-bit ASCII is identical to utf-8.
Thus, the result may be treated as a native utf8 string.
