Theodore,
Thank you for your feedback. Adding a warning to the description in DataInput sounds like a good idea. In the meantime, if somebody wants to use modified UTF-8 outside the Java context, please point them to

Unfortunately, since this encoding is widely used within the Java context, we can not deprecate it.
