Don't bother about that now. Just create that wrapper func/lib/whatever now 
so that it's there, and implent UTF-8 conversion for those systems that 
support it. Others can just write the tags unconverted like now, for now. 
Then, as you find ways to get this working on those other systems, you can 
update the wrapper for those systems. This shouldn't be a problem really 
since there's already oggs with "normal" text in the tags, so that would have 
to be supported anyway..

Btw, is there a way of autodetecting if a tag is utf-8 or not ? If not, is 
there some reserved bit somewhere that can be used ?
