Yes, actually I fixed them :)
The file was clean UTF-8 before, but a non-ascii 8-bit character slipped
in at r14603. Then Emacs opened it as ISO-8859-1 and we had mixed
encodings.

Btw, trac shows complete non-sense here...

I would vote for UTF-8. Emacs can handle that with file variables,
vi/whatever-users should pay attention.

If you let me I can apply the change, I still have a pending ChangeLog
entry I forgot yesterday ;-)

Any other file variables wanted?
