I continue to think this is a bad idea.  In particular, you cannot claim
that because a text sequence entity body is not valid UTF-8, that it is
not a valid JSON text sequence; as I explained before, the JSON texts
may be truncated or otherwise damaged such that they contain only part
of a UTF-8-encoded character.
