because the agreed solution was to use utf8 for the kernel. from Dominique:

   === 5. Interoperability with ucs.sty

   There are some name clashes with my Unicode package.

   - utf8.def: I accept the fact, that this is the canonical name for
   that file and will rename my inputencoding in favour of the kernel's
   encoding.
