Re: New invalid UTF-8 proposal using tags and %nn

A that encodes arbitrary, data in yaml files by escaping the bytes
that would break yaml structure (utf-8 and separators) with
percent-encoding should be called something like urlencode or
percent-encode.

While it is most convenient (by being readable in the serialized form)
when the data is mostly utf-8, I don't think there should be a
requirement that language represent this as character strings. These
are arbitrary byte strings, and it should be the library user's choice
and responsibility to customize its loader to transform the byte
string into an invalid character string. The only way this tag needs
to relate with utf8, is to know what bytes are invalid utf8 and
invalid yaml.
