    Perhaps delaying the internationalization of X is a good idea.
    Who wants potentially major modifications staring them in the face after
    choosing one international character set over another.

You appear to not understand what is commonly meant by "internationalization".
The internationalization efforts I am aware of (X included) use programming
interfaces that provide codeset independence, rather than being tied to any
one codeset.
