 On request, decodes all params from UTF-8 octets into a sequence of
 logical characters. On response, encodes body into UTF-8 octets.
 
+Note that this plugin tries to autodetect if your response is encoded into
+characters before trying to encode it into a byte stream. This is bad
+as sometimes it can guess wrongly and cause problems.
+
+Using L<Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding> is more recommended, but that
+requires that all data inputs have correctly been decoded into perls
+internal character representation.
