The important thing is to know, whether it is safe to use the
\inputencoding macro. This could be a boolean value that is true if:
* \usepackage[...]{inputenc} or \usepackage[...]{luainputenc} is output by
writeEncodingPreamble
* a package/class that loads inputenc (or luainputenc) is loaded
(this is tested in writeEncodingPreamble via
features.isProvided("inputenc")).

I'd prefer you to do this.
Deciding, what to do in case inputenc is not availabel remains an open
issue: with XeTeX, we can just use UTF8, otherwise we have to decide
between conversion with lib/unicodesymbols (or something better suited
for "pdfstrings") or giving a warning or error.
