Anyone know why English.lproj/localizedStrings.js is maintained as UTF16
encoded?  I think I noticed Trac does the right thing with the file, but diffs
and other tools don't.  The actual content of the file doesn't require it to be
UTF16, even it has (or had or could have) non-ascii chars in it, because those
would be in the JS strings and so could be escaped.

My only guess is some tool during a translation or build step is assuming
UTF16.

In that case, perhaps we can keep the "development" version of the file as a
plain old ascii file, using unicode escapes as needed.  For whatever tool needs
the UTF16 version, we can write a filter invoked during build that will read
the ascii version and convert to UTF16.
