Note that most of those characters are only in the MacRoman encoding, though. If you use the true elipsis character with a font that doesn't support MacRoman (Osaka, for example), you'll get some other random character. So even those characters typically need to either be localized or to be expressed in Unicode.
Exactly my point; hence my plea that UTF-8 be accepted, as it is most everywhere else. I'll file a bug.
