Content
You can't change the codec - it's being used in other places as well, e.g. for use cases where you need to have an 8-bit encoded readable version of a Unicode object (which happens to be Latin-1 + Unicode escapes for all non-Latin-1 characters, due to Unicode being a superset of Latin-1). Adding a new codec would be fine, though I don't know how this would map raw Unicode strings with non-Latin-1 characters in them to an 8-bit string. Perhaps this is not needed at all in Py3k.
