I should have explained the rationale behind this suggestion, sorry.

What it boils down to is that normal text would use the standard ASCII
chars and only names and references would be allowed to use UTF-8. A
different, and maybe better, way to put this is "UTF-8 for the
document, but use only ASCII chars within the main text".
