There is a TMU format developed by XmacsLabs that uses utf-8 instead of national encoding. Maybe we can port this feature back to TeXmacs.

Thanks for your work. I am currently bringing back TeXmacs to Debian (see Debian bug report #1072829). I want to report that lintian(1) emits (numerous) national-encoding tags and strongly suggests to convert nation-encoding material into UTF-8 material. About the national-encoding tag, the lintian-explain-tags(1) helper has to say:

N:
W: national-encoding
N:
N:   A file is not valid UTF-8.
N:  
N:   Debian has used UTF-8 for many years. Support for national encodings is being phased out. This file probably appears to users in mangled
N:   characters (also called mojibake).
N:  
N:   Packaging control files must be encoded in valid UTF-8.
N:  
N:   Please convert the file to UTF-8 using iconv or a similar tool.
N:
N:   Visibility: warning
N:   Show-Always: no
N:   Check: files/encoding
N:   Renamed from: national-encoding-in-text-file debian-changelog-file-uses-obsolete-national-encoding
N:   debian-control-file-uses-obsolete-national-encoding debian-copyright-file-uses-obsolete-national-encoding
N:   debian-news-file-uses-obsolete-national-encoding debian-tests-control-uses-national-encoding doc-base-file-uses-obsolete-national-encoding
