My script indeed produces only raw output, which, to become valid 
UTF-8, would need an introductory C2 or C3 character. The question is: 
why were these raw characters converted into valid UTF-8 and why was 
this not converted into ISO 8859-13 upon inserting into the file 
buffer? Or at least when saving the file? My usual 
selection-coding-system seems to be compound-text-with-extensions, open 
to accept anything.
