I wish more software developers kept these things in mind.
At one of my customers I worked on interfacing their online store with several other software components. The store was the only piece able to handle the names of customers (from different parts of the world) correctly. All the rest failed at some point. There are so many additional aspects you discover only when you actually work on these things.
