Please, ignore this. This was my old delusion which
I've just demystified for myself. In fact
ISO-8859-1 -> UTF-8
transformation is idempotent only for
upper part of ISO-8859-1 codepage which
comprise only 26 standard Latin characters
(aka ASCII table). Lower part containing
various accented character is different
ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8.
Sorry for any unintentional deceit,
Vadim
