What do you mean by "internal representation"? Conversion from
any to utf-8, processing by the code and conversion back to the
original charset is really internal, transparent for the user.

Now my plan
was to convert from UTF-8 to the native character set, but that
conversion won't be perfect.

But such the internall conversion would be perfect, no new
characters is introduced (except formatting like newlines,
spaces).

The question is: what charset will be in draft for edition?
Original, converted to something (e.g. according to locale) or
utf-8. This is no longer internal.


 I'm writing the code, I'm the one
who makes the decisions.  [..] 
you can give me your OPINION, 

Clear statement.
