Imagine I'd like to use unicode in general, but have a document for a journal 
that does not accept unicode-encoded files. Or I have a document that uses a 
package that does not work with unicode.

Vice versa: I want to use latin-1 generally, but need to write a document that 
uses characters for which I need unicode.

Or: I'm publishing in English and Hebrew (onl hypothetically). For hebrew 
documtns, unicode is better, for English documents, I'd like to use good old 
latin1.

I think there are lots of cases where the decision "unicode or not" depends on 
the actual job or document, respectively.
