on a sidenote: we also discovered when using UTF-8 charsets fully, we ran into a few small issues with icms, which will affect xoops aswell.
in certain conditions, it is not enough to just use htmlspecialchars. but you also need to set which characterset you are using aswell.
Which conditions?
As long as I read the source code of PHP in ext/standard/html.c, the third parameter -charset- looks almost non-sense.
And I've never experienced the trouble the charset for htmlspecialchars().
