UTF-8 charset identifier
The charset identifer for UTF-8 is defined by the IANA as "UTF-8"; case is supposed to be insensitive.
There are no aliases defined. In particular "utf8" is not officially recognized, though some software does implement that identifier as an alias.
In order to ensure maximum compatibility, I think we are best off using the official forms "UTF-8" or "utf-8" (not "UTF8" or "utf8").
I fixed the cases of this that I could find. They were mostly in Atom-related code.

Hi Anil,
Here is the section out of my weblog template:
<div class="item">
#showNewsfeed("http://www.chenuke.com/rss/news2.php" false 5 false)
</div>
To my knowledge everything is OK through my systems with utf-8 at the
source (www.chenuke.com) and at cheblogs.com/
Thanks for any time you might have for this minor issue.
I tried to the Planet code going for me, but in the end found that the
PlanetPlanet code was exactly what I was looking for and worked
immediately out of the box. So, I disabled the Plant stuff on Che Blogs.

Re: UTF-8 charset identifier

There were earlier issues with the newsfeed cache (NewsfeedCache.java) with
encodings that were fixed with ROL-766 in 2.0 and 1.3.
The fix for ROL-766 introduced an instance of this separate bug (ROL-1132)
which I just fixed now.
Since this was done based on code inspection rather than symptom reports and
verification, I don't know all of the actual symptoms fixed by these
changes. However, I suspect the issue you are seeing might NOT be the same.
Please send me a link to the feed URL you are using and I can do some local
testing. If it's a different issue, the fix won't make 2.3.
--a.
ps. Be aware that #showNewsfeed() was deprecated after the Planet
aggregation functionality came in.

I have been having trouble with #showNewsfeed() messing up the utf-8
characters when displaying the feed. I wonder if this is the problem?
Check the right margin of http://www.cheblogs.com/roller/page/bblakeley
to see what I mean with the French newsfeed titles.
