If you understand what you're doing, it will, yes. Sometimes, by
chance, even if you don't.

As far as I can see, the encoding is us-ascii. It doesn't contain
any actual Cyrillic characters - only numerical character references
(&#number;). This is a permissible option - but rarely the option of
choice. Although it can be useful for authors who haven't a clue what
they're doing. If you catch my drift.

This seems to be completely pointless. Any decent i18n software can
do this without fuss, and not only for Cyrillic.
