No need to create ad-hoc commands which are not widely supported by clients yet.
The registration form may allow only specific forms to respect the JEP. However,
it is not forbidden to add an x:data form to the registration form which would
allow to configure per-user encoding.

x:data is supported by much more clients (obviously as x:data is a dependency
for ad-hoc commands) such as psi, Exodus and so on and clients not supporting
x:data would just see the basic registration form without the x:data encoding
form.

If you need an example, the IRC gateway of ejabberd has a x:data form in its
registration form. It allows to set the nick for IRC rooms and encoding per
server.

A simplified XML registration form for PyICQ would look like :
<iq>
<query xmlns="jabber:iq:register">
  <username />
  <password />
  <nick />
  <x:data>
    <field var="encoding">
      <value>UTF-8</value>
    </field>
  <x:data />
</query>
</iq>

I think this is what you need.
