I'm just saying that if we standardize on encoding, we dont need to talk about encoding. Which is my interpretation of the original document.
Separate point: There is no such thing as an abstract string or integer in a computer, no matter what language you are using. Every string in a computer has an encoding - you have to store it as ones and zeros.
If we standardize on UTF-8 as an encoding, we just dont need to use the awkward phrase "UTF-8" in ordinary conversation.
