In our case we use the utf8_decode functions to convert from UTF8 in
the client to ISO-8859-1 on the server, since the site is encoded in
latin1.

Our usage of that function is working flawlessly, so for us it's super
important to have a clear migration path with a good polyfill! 


I realise you can't speak for anyone else, but as a point of interest, would you be OK with a polyfill having a requirement on ext/mbstring or ext/iconv, or would you have a strong preference for a replacement built into the core (i.e. guaranteed available without any optional packages)?
