Please reconsider.

If I understand correctly, according to comment "[18 Jul 12:10am UTC]  
moriyoshi at php.net" php developers does not consider this to be a  
php bug or even consider fixing this in php. So, the application  
calling htmlspecialchars need to check that input is valid utf-8 (when  
using utf-8 charset argument).
