Of course it applies to log messages. You want to be able to extract exactly
what you put in. That implies that a consistent and uniform character set is
chosen.

As I said elsewhere, we decided on UTF-8 for text for everything a long long
time ago. We wanted to absolutely avoid all this character set nonsense. So
picking *one* character set (which is theoretically a superset of all
others) is nice. It helps all users of the libraries.
