this will take more time. Maybe I'll be not so much 
busy on other high-priority projects as now.

will look into that. But I think disabling 
   default_escape_flags => 'h'
in lib/RT/Interface/Web.pm  would be enough for now. 

All major browsers understand raw Unicode in HTML, so you don't need to 
change UTF characters into entities. 
Raw Latin1 or Cyrillics (or those Asian alphabets) aren't needed to 
translate either, you just need 
to specify the correct charset in Content-type header. 

Sorry, that's only the theory on the weekend. I'll be able to play 
with real systems in 2-3 weeks.
