Yep, I was going that way too (and started coding it so).
Currently FormatMaskText from maskedit (LCL) behaves better than the
one from maskutils.

The LCL implementation handles UTF8, the fpc's will (also with code
ported form LCL) only handle single byte encoding.

Maybe a version of maskutils unit based on UnicodeString should also be made?
