Properly, I think the 3 byte representation for a glyph (ñ) than in UTF-8 is
two bytes does not fit in UTF-8 valid, but more in Unicode NFKD, isn't it?

Has to be mantined in NFKD for compatibility with...? In that case shouldn't
be wider audience to split all possibilities, given marc8 to utf-8 with
unicode normalization in NFD, NFKD and NFKC, apart from the preferred option
NFC?
