I think tring locale-coding-system at first, and if that
yields undecoded eight-bit characters, decoding by
iso-8859-1 is good.
That is not a good idea. locale-coding-system is set based on the
locale, and people set their locales for general reasons, not
specifically about Emacs. It would be undesirable to choose
nonstandard behavior for cut buffers merely because someone normally
uses latin-2, for instance.
It is ok to have a feature to specify nonstandard encoding of
cut-buffers, but it should be a specific feature, which affects
nothing else, and which people will enable only when they specifically
want nonstandard encoding of cut-buffers.
