There already is utf-7d5 created exactly for this purpose ... see
http://www.uni-mainz.de/~knappen/jk009.html and
http://www.uni-mainz.de/~knappen/jk010.html .

It also has the nice faeture of escaping the Latin-1 letters (but not the
symbols!) with a pound sign, thus being almost human readable in a latin-1
context.
