I suppose what we could do is 

  if (strings_can_be_converted_to_iso_8859_1)
    convert_to_iso_8859_1;
  else if (GST_ID3_TAG_ENCODING_environment_variable_is_set
    && strings_can_be_converted_to_that_encoding)
    convert_to_that_encoding;
  else
    use_utf8;

That would reflect the real-world situation a bit better no matter how much it
sucks. Most importantly, I doubt many tag readers will be able to handle utf8 in
ID3v1 tags.

In the end applications shouldn't really write ID3v1 tags, but should write
ID3v2 tags instead, so unicode isn't a problem.

Re-opening until we have decided what the Right Thing To Do here is.

Cheers
 -Tim
