Sure. However, that requires you to provide meaningful, reproducible counter-examples, rather than a stenographic formulation that might hint some problem you apparently see (which I believe is just not there).
Well, here's another one: PEP 383 would disallow UTF-8 encodings of half surrogates. By my reading, the current Unicode 5.1 definition of 'UTF-8' disallows that.
5.0 also disallows it. No surprise I guess.
