I think your opinion is to use this algorithm for "medium" mode
and use this mode for default.
This algorithm is better because it does not hard-code any
locale names. However, this algorithm does not work well for
Thai, for which I'd like to use "3. UTF-8 with luit" behavior.
Do you have any idea to include 8bit encodings which need
special processings such as combining?
