It's early morning for me, and I'm still at least a liter of Diet Mountain Dew
away from being sufficiently caffeinated to be positive, but that looks like
"not totally correct, but a lot closer than what we have now".

In particular, that will accept overlong and illegal utf-8 codepoints, and
probably misbehaves in strange and unusual non-ascii/non-utf-8 things
like iso2022-jp.

Personally, I'd just stick the isascii() in there and wait for a bug report
regarding the previous paragraph. :)
