If you change safe-charsets without changing what the CCL actually
encodes, you're just courting data corruption.
E.g. find-coding-systems-... will report utf-8 for lao text, but if
you encode it, you'll just get U+FFFDs.

[You argued against that before.]
Why just Latin-N, and why just as utf-8? There shouldn't be anything
special about Latin. That version of utf-8.el can't encode
cyrillic-iso8859-5, for instance, and the Cyrillic coding systems
can't encode the relevant characters from mule-unicode-0100-24ff.
Is it also a bug that utf-8 can't encode the CJK space or that the CJK
sets can't encode equivalent characters from other sets (which I
haven't tried to address and people probably don't care about)?
