One further question: should the encoder accept a string like u'\xDCC2\xDC80'? That would encode to b'\xC2\x80', which, when decoded, would give u'\x80'. Does the PEP only guarantee that strings decoded from the filesystem are reversible, but not check what might be de novo strings?

Indeed so.
which, when decoded, would give u'\x80'.
Assuming the encoding is UTF-8, yes.

Exactly so. Regards, Martin
