Sorry, maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how this could be
a reasonable assumption.  Don't you need to produce the same byte
stream as would be found in the file when saved to disk?  If so, then
you need to produce data about byte counts as they will be in that
encoding, which is defined by buffer-file-coding-system.

Apologies if I missed something.
