How?  Do you mean to encode Info files in UTF-8 or some such?  That
would not work well with the stand-alone Info reader, which is a
text-mode program and thus limited to the character set supported by
the underlying text terminal.

Personally, I think preferring locale-specific encoding is TRT, since
most of the installed manuals that use non-ASCII characters are more
likely to use that than anything else.
