For backwards compatibility reasons, `atob`/`btoa` should probably continue to work in exactly the same way they work now (i.e as per http://whatwg.org/html/webappapis.html#atob). Otherwise, any existing code that uses `atob`/`btoa` before UTF-8-decoding or after UTF-8-encoding, including your snippet, would suddenly break. Like you demonstrated, it’s easy enough to encode or decode the input using UTF-8 or any other character encoding before passing to `atob`/`btoa`.
