liblouis commands should all be in ascii at the moment, so those beyond 127
should be represented with \xABCD.
The file itself should be utf-8 encoded, so that names, comments etc can be
written in a natural way.
These two statements are distinctly different and we need to make sure table
writers dont confuse the matter, which seems to have happend with
the broken tables.
