Sure, that makes sense. What about: All hooks are run with working directory set to the root of the source tree, and MAY print arbitrary informational text on stdout and stderr. This text SHOULD be UTF-8 encoded, but as building may invoke other processes, install tools MUST NOT fail if the data they receive is not valid UTF-8; though in this case the display of the output may be corrupted. Do we also want to recommend that install tools set PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 when invoking build tools? Or leave this up to the build tools?
