I would rather call it "fake-utf-8".

No, you wouldn't use utf8, but for example ansinew.def, this maps
character 0x80 (or decimal 128) to \texteuro.

This method is the most compatible way, but it strips off the
new possibilities of using UTF-8 encoding with LuaTeX.
Therefore I don't think, it's a good base for new development.
