You must be very careful to not let any characters thru unencoded which
may confuse browsers, all models.

For example there is known browsers who assume text is 7-bit, thinking
that < and < with the high order bit is the same thing and other stupid
things.

But for most situations it is probably OK to only HTML-encode the reserved
characters and leave the rest in 8-bit encoding. You should also add a
proper charset encoding variable in the header.
