I've updated the PEP with the new requirements.

	http://python.sourceforge.net/peps/pep-0263.html

The new scheme for the default encoding now maps the standard
procedure for all other conversions in Python which go
from strings to Unicode: use the sys.getdefaultencoding().

This happens to be ASCII in all standard installations,
but sys admins may change it at their own risk and liking.
