That, or ENC_UTF_8.  I suspect most new protocols support UTF-8; older ones either only specify ASCII or use various legacy encodings.  Automated replacement will get it wrong for some protocols regardless of whether we use ENC_ASCII or ENC_UTF_8; the question is which of those would be worse, for some value of "worse".
