Someone, some day, will > want that. Based on my understanding of the code, the only effect of unify-on-encode is to increase the number of coding-systems that can be used for a given buffer. If you don't use one of the added coding-systems, the output should be exactly the same as before. Thus if you don't want the feature, you can use C-x RET f to specify another coding-system.
