I am more skeptical about the ability of everyone involved
to keep everything encoded correctly, and repeat into the
indefinite future; consequently, I prefer the current escaping
scheme.  After all, UTF-8 was as useful *and* as problematic
when we adopted the scheme a year or two ago as it is today:
nothing has changed, so we should change nothing.
