Agreed. Ada 2012 requires Ada compilers to accept UTF-8. I rather doubt that 
there is much value to accepting anything else (given that 7-bit ASCII is a 
straight subset of UTF-8). Straight 8-bit Latin-1 might be an exception for 
historical reasons, but for a new implementation, start with UTF-8 and worry 
about other formats later (and possibly never).
