I don't see a use case for replace.
Agreed.
Alternatively, you could always specify Latin-1 as the encoding and convert it that way -- I don't think there's any input that can cause Latin-1 decoding to fail.
You seem to be right. « In 1992, the IANA registered the character map ISO-8859-1 (note the extra hyphen), a superset of ISO/IEC 8859-1, for use on the Internet. This map assigns control characters to the code values 00-1F, 7F, and 80-9F. It thus provides for 256 characters via every possible 8-bit value. » http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8859-1#ISO-8859-1

Antoine.
