Btw, utf-8-emacs is also an unfortunate name, IMO, because it again
does not explain in any way the difference between utf-8 and
utf-8-emacs.  Since I'm already in Emacs, adding -emacs to an encoding
name adds no information that would help me resolve the ambiguity.

How about emacs-internal instead?  Or anything else with the word
``internal'' as part of it?  (The fact that it is based on UTF-8 is
IMO irrelevant: it's still an internal Emacs representation that is
understood only by Emacs.)
