I also discovered that to make UTF-8 work with the soap4r libraries, I
had to save my entire Ruby script *as* UTF-8.  For the SOAP stuff,
it's not enough to have a couple of UTF-8 characters sprinkled among
the ASCII characters in the script.  The library has to see that the
entire script file is UTF8-encoded.
