Sorry - I meant for the unicode to bytes case. A default encoding that behaves differently to the current to implicit encodes/decodes would be confusing IMHO.

And I am in agreement with you there (I think only Phillip argued otherwise).

I agree that string to bytes shouldn't change the value of the bytes.

It's a deal then.

Can the owner of PEP 332 update the PEP to record these decisions?
