It boils down to what do you think it is more likely:

  a) The user types characters outside latin-1 (or whatever) because
he needs them, and will have to worry later how to save the buffer
  b) The user wants to save in latin-1, uses characters outside it by
accident (because they are available in the input method), and will
have to worry later about removing or substituting them.
