Note that those tools (tar etc) listen to the encoding defined by the user (using an environment var)

Doing this kind of re-coding adds a lot of complexity..

CSV is not a latin1 or even an ASCII defined standard IIRC since you can still type unicode characters (Chinese...) which should be encoded.

All in all; its a lot harder then just dumping input.

I agree with David that this is not a good idea.  You did not answer Davids question why this should stay open, I'd like to know that as well.
