That would be fine with me; however, many other people would probably
agree. We put in transcode() due to people who don't want to do Unicode
beating us up about having to do the transcoding themselves (and hence
having to have some external mechanism for doing so, since we don't expose
ours.) So taking it out at this point would probably get us into far worse
trouble probably.
