We should ignore latex limitations in the core. All latex specific
handling should be done on output.

So far no solutions has been proposed.
(Except the one below and the one that we put in.)

A native tex encoding would be great. Then we would not need to handle
inputenc at all, just provide the correct packages to get access to
fonts and char commands.

I fear that doing the explicit
encodings as below we are only able to export a very small subset of
what lyx can show on screen (and store internally)

I am not quite sure that I like the generalization of the utf8 facet,
perhaps creating a base facet and explicit facets for the other
encodings would be better.
