What about stuff that must not be transliterated? 
If "LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ls" is
	ââââ ââaâ aaaa aeae ææ
then "LANG=en_US.ascii ls" producing
	aaaa aaaa aaaa aeae aeae
is much worse than
	???? ??a? aaaa aeae ??

Does ls running under glibc2.2 do this? Is anything going to be done to 
prevent filenames from being transliterated in the future, or does every
application need to manually deal with this?
