Now I'm OK to accept the PEP, except one nitpick.

Locale coercion only impacts non-Python code like C libraries, whereas the Python UTF-8 Mode only impacts Python code: the two PEPs are complementary.

This sentence seems bit misleading. If UTF-8 mode is disabled explicitly, locale coercion affects Python code too. locale.getpreferredencoding() is UTF-8, open()' s default encoding is UTF-8, and stdio is UTF-8/surrogateescape.

So shouldn't this sentence is: "Locale coercion impacts both of Python code and non-Python code like C libraries, whereas ..."?
