Thanks for the quick turnaround, with the testing I've managed to do today
everything looks great.

Everything runs fine here.

To save you from writing fallback code, we could just document that table files
should be valid utf8 files.
There are several standalone tools and libraries that deal with encodings, so
the table writer can simply use the external tools to verify
his/her tables.
If you are happy with this I can do the needed changes in the documentation.
