AFAIK, only when TEXT is requested, an selection owner can
choose the returning type from STRING, COMPOUND_TEXT, or
UTF8_STRING. When UTF8_STRING is requested, we should
return it or return nothing.
And, if Emacs owns a unibyte string, perhaps the right thing
is to make it multibyte according to the current
lang. env. (by string-make-multibyte) at first, then encode
it by utf-8.
