That's right.

I'm pretty sure it's not necessary.
But I don't have a clear idea of how much breakage it would involve:
someone should try it out and see what breaks in the packages they use to
get a feel for how serious it is.

I get the impression that the more problematic case will be process
filters: I think it is fairly rare to have ASCII text (really meant as
*text* where we want EOL conversion) in a unibyte buffer, but I think
it's pretty frequent to have ASCII *text* inside unibyte strings.
The difference is that the unibyteness of strings is determined
semi-automatically.
So we could end up with a half-way rule where coding-systems (i.e. EOL
conversion) doesn't apply to text coming from or going to a unibyte
buffer, but does apply to unibyte strings :-(
