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.
