There may be some incompatibilies with scandinavian character mapping 
between iso 8859-15 and utf-8, but, if I am understand right, the 
finnish universities library network is switching to utf-8 and that is 
our primary source for importing records.

We have not any hurry with koha. We can wait and examine all issues, and 
do compherensive testing.
