I think some people don't want to use utf-8 yet? (although we are moving that way...) But I've had no trouble using xterm with "XTerm*locale:true" in .Xdefaults and setting CTYPE. Forcing people to use uxterm seems meaner than letting them configure xterm how they like. Also, it's confusing (imo) that all the resources are named UXTerm, since nearly every web page about xterm you'll find online talks about XTerm. Seems like just one more gotcha.
