Which part of platform directly encodes characters above U+007F when "us-ascii"
encoding is used?

Either I'm missing something essential, or scope of Encoding spec is not
specific enough.

Consider the following example. I have page containing copyright symbol
(U+00A9). I want to save it in "us-ascii" encoding using XHTML syntax of HTML5.
With the current spec copyright symbol would go through as 0xA9 byte which
would cause parsing error when result is read back by using XML parser.
