glibc means to implement POSIX and be the interface to the system calls. The general guideline nowadays among glibc maintainers is "no new API" (unless it's a new system call). IIRC, when libidn was added to glibc as an add-on, Ulrich Drepper asked Simon Josefsson to remove all functionality that was not immediately needed for libidn. I guess that if we succeed to have some additions to POSIX in this area, it will not be more than 2 or 3 functions, and no API that hardwires UTF-8 as encoding.
