Yes, I think the underlying buffer should remain the same.  Whether you
use fancy utf chars to display headings etc should be similar to
pretty-entities and font-locking, in my view.

rfc1345 is nice; other favourites are =ucs= for the full unicode
character set and =tex= which allows you to use latex commands to type
in specific characters (e.g. \rightarrow will actually put in →).
