So, well, a-ha, i will boot my laptop this evening and (try to) write a patch for normalize_encoding(), which will match the standart conforming LATIN1 and also will continue to support the illegal latin-1 without actually changing the two users PyUnicode_Decode() and PyUnicode_AsEncodedString(), from which i better keep the hands off.  But i'm slow, it may take until tomorrow...
