I think it is worth doing that for Emacs 22, because Windows 98 and ME are almost dead now, and probably will be by the time Emacs 22 s released, and also with the change of Emacs' internal representation, Unicode fits better. But now I think the best approach for this problem is to add an entry to PROBLEMS and get on with the release.
