You are right. However, if the "target" is a "newbie", it is often very important to have it _exactly_ as it has to be typed (which does not necessarily hold depending on syntax translations etc., even if the print mode is "").

Anyway, what are your remaining applications for ASCII notation?
Currently only, copy-pasting examples from jedit into e-mails for the

I think most people now copy the Unicode from the physical rendering

Formal text that is copy-pasted is approximative anyway, in the sense
that it lacks the precise context.
