Go for it, Doug! :-)

If I only had a bit of spare time myself, I'd be eager of running
bits-per-character statistics for UTF:-)336 in various languages...
Something makes me think that it would rank even worse than UTF-32 and
UTF:-)64.

BTW, how about the convention of using the "UTF:-)" prefix for our
bogus/model/parody UTF's?
