I think that is less important than DTRT, but I'm not against it. In IANA KH> (http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets), there's no KH> alias names for "UTF-8". Why should that be relevant? So maybe display a message "This is not the real coding system name, use `utf-8'" and also don't offer utf8 for completion? Would that be sufficient? I have nothing against that.
