When we talk about renaming these options, how about an "error mask"?
I.e. a way to specify on what errors the encoding shold stop. e.g.

-erroron {surrogates invalid wrongcode} ....

where these names should be the ones defined by the UNicode consortium.
Then everyone can pick their own failuremode. The same codes should then
also be reported when the error occurs.

Which one of these shall become the default, is then purely bikeshedding.
