+1, but does it really matter in Commons where the source files are in
english anyway?

Apparently, the generated Javadoc is encoded by default with yet another
legacy charset:
<!-- Generated by javadoc (build 1.6.0_13) on Sun Aug 02 15:34:31 EDT 2009 -->
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
Useful flags to enable the use of UTF-8 math/greek sympbols in the [math]
Javadoc are described here:

This one is not in english and the unicode escapes are used in the
literal strings:

Also in [math] it would be interesting to use some symbols and some
greek characters in javadoc and have them both readable when editing the
file and converted automatically into html whene generating javadoc. For
now, we use the html 4.0 entities for that and it is barely readable. As
an example, compare the following source and generated javadoc.
