I agree and would go one small step further: UTF-8 is only an encoding, so we should just say "unicode" for strings. If we need to restrict that, say to disallow underscore in the beginning or to save a separation character like space in attributes right now, we should do so at the character level, possibly using categories as introduces by @ChrisBarker-NOAA above.
