Non-localized cat pages must be stored in ASCII _only_ as lowest common
denominator to be compatible with all sort of user locales.

As I understand it (I mean non-localized pages part), single user whith
ISO_8859-1 locale now can effictively store Latin1 8bit junk in cat pages,
which affects all other (non-Latin1) locales viewers.

Correct me if I am wrong or back it out.
