UTF-8, auto-detect, Emacs -*- coding: foo -*- convention, something else, or just unspecified?

IMHO this should be implementation-defined, as in essentially all programming languages, particularly since we have accepted UnicodeCowan, which makes the character repertoire implementation-dependent.

WG1 voted to leave this unspecified.
