The name "utf8b" suggested in the PEP is not in line with the codec design and causes confusion with an existing codec of a similar name. Error handlers and codecs are two different things, so the namespaces need to be clearly separate. Please change the name of the error handler to a different name that does not resemble or cause confusion with a codec name and fits the scheme of error handler names we already have in place in Python for replacing error handlers, i.e. "XYZreplace".
