I do very much support this. g_utf8_validate() can be used for this.

For example, in speechd-el, if I enter an accented character like ?
(e-acute) or ? (o-umlaut) I get:

module_speak("?", 1, MSGTYPE_KEEY)

This is with emacs 22.1.1 using the latin-1 language environment.

The same effect can be achieved by using the python bindings.
