There's a limitation: if you use Latin1 characters (e.g. when you write
in French), you cannot export to text/ascii anymore.

So, if, for some reason, you really need to export to ascii only, but
still need to write in french, you have to be careful not to use any of
these Latin1 characters, in particular in translated strings. Similarly,
Japanese :ascii entries could be written using romanji.

I don't know to what extent it is useful, though.

Good idea.

You can also set entries to :default and provide a different :latex
value, if required.
