If I understand correctly, you’re suggesting editorial-only changes. Either:

* Change "non-ASCII" to U+0080+, add a "C1 control character" 
definition, and replace occurrences of "non-ASCII" by "non-ASCII except 
C1 control characters". Or something similar.
* Use another term instead of "non-ASCII".

This would address the current definition being "wrong" but not what I 
really want. Which is being able to implement a conforming tokenizer 
that, for efficiency, pretends that UTF-8 bytes are code points.

My proposal is to change "non-ASCII" to U+0080+, and nothing else.
