TBH that makes more sense to me than the present proposal since it would preserve parity of character encoding for simple programs, though I think it would still sow confusion since other filehandles will remain binary by default:

Are other filehandles binary by default? I thought they were text by default, with the “:crlf" layer applied on those operating systems where it is appropriate. Perhaps in 2021 “text by default” should include encoding.
