I think many in the US know French or Spanish, and then your
 writing will
profit from Latin-1 which requires some I18N.
So I guess there are more reasons why 7bit is so popular among
technical people.

What are typical SuSE customer like? Well they want I18N?
Programmers claim they can communicate well using just 7bit ASCII,
possibly turning Latin-1 characters into a sequence of two 7bit
charaters. Poor man's UTF-)? When needed, the write a" for =C3=A4 or
o/ for =C3=B8 etc...

These character sequence provide for enough magic. No need to
finally learn how to use a keyboard and use the real characters :-)
