No, transform/untransform as methods are a bad idea, but these codecs should definitely come back. The minimal change needed for that to be feasible is to give errors raised during encoding and decoding more context information (at least the codec name and error mode, and switching to the right kind of error). MAL also stated on python-dev that codecs.encode and codecs.decode already exist, so it should just be a matter of documenting them properly.
