Also, note that ASDF's encodings play a much more limited role than external-formats: they are not meant as a way to express arbitrary transformations an implementation may provide for a variety of input and output uses, but only as a way to *portably* specify an character encoding for the input only reading of Lisp source files for the purposes of LOADing of COMPILE-FILEing.

Just out of curiosity how will your :encoding handle files with, say Mac end-of-line, which is just CR? If the first line is a comment, and my lisp expects LF, the entire file is just a comment, I think.

Well, I don't think there are too many files nowadays like that, but I have run into an occasional file with CR as the end-of-line.
