This statment is very specific, and constructive. ☺

Links is the first web browser which displays UTF-8 pages good
except of older Panel library based one which I personally made it.
I hope many Japanese web writer will begin to write their pages 
by UTF-8.☺  To make it possible for JIS, S-JIS looks like ridiculous
to me, because only Japanese use those codes...

Sure, if we have better web browse, it better for all of us.
