Sure. However, that requires you to provide meaningful, reproducible

hint some problem you apparently see (which I believe is just not

Well, here's another one: PEP 383 would disallow UTF-8 encodings of half
surrogates.
By my reading, the current Unicode 5.1 definition of 'UTF-8' disallows that.
But such encodings are currently supported by Python, and
they are used as part of CESU-8 coding. That's, in fact, a common way
of converting UTF-16 to UTF-8. How are you going to deal with existing
code that relies on being able to code half surrogates as UTF-8?
