Great minds think alike :-) I just proposed a similar approach in the tracker, with the following variations: - applications can explicitly set the file system encoding. If they set it to Latin-1, they can access all files on a POSIX system. - use private-use characters for unrepresentable bytes For the second item, there was the immediate objection that this gives conflicts in UTF-8, for which UTF-8b could be a good solution.
