Thank you, but there are a few good reasons not to do it that way:

(1) there are many existing documents coded using ITRANS that would need to be recoded using UTF-8;

(2) many people are not comfortable entering or viewing UTF-8, and prefer ASCII; and

(3) it is easy to produce outputs in multiple scripts from the same base coding, by doing it my way (there is actually great demand for this, as many people want to read Sanskrit texts in Kannada or IAST/Roman scripts rather than in Devanagari as one might presume) -- not so if a particular script has already been used to enter the text.
