So perhaps the TeX successor should support different = formats for .aux
files and the like. If the translations are external = to the TeX kernel, it
is not a LaTeX issue.

One suggestion under UNIX could be that the TeX = successor gets default
encodings at startup time and via environmental = variables, which could be
say file name extension specific, or = something.
