Do I understand correctly then that this relaxed error handling could 
be seen
as an "argument" to the encoding, i.e. it turns "us-ascii" into
"us-ascii-relaxed"?

Because if that is so, then isn't the best way to implement this to
not bother with sys.relaxedunicodeerrors, but in stead use a special
encoding name (or a parameter to an encoding name, such as 
"us-ascii;relaxed")?
