So what do you think of my new proposal of using ASCII as the default "encoding"?
How about using unicode-escape or raw-unicode-escape as default encoding ? (They would have to be adapted to disallow Latin-1 char input, though.)
The advantage would be that they are compatible with ASCII while still providing loss-less conversion and since they use escape characters, you can even read them using an ASCII based editor.
umm. if you disallow latin-1 characters, how can you call this one loss-less? looks like political correctness taken to an entirely new level... </F>
