[Dev-luatex] Using UTF8 in PDF mode?

As I understand it, by default luatex accepts its input in UTF8.
However, the manual if \pdfoutput=1, fonts are limited to 256 glyphs.
What is the expected idiom for massaging the input so that non-ASCII
UTF8 symbols can be displayed sensibly? Should I be putting a hook into
the reader callback? Or is there intended to be a more specific
mechanism in the future?
Put another way, I have a LaTeX document that in conjunction with
the inputenc package and pdftex-1.40.x-beta handles the occurrences of
UTF8 in my document by replacing them with macros I've defined.
However, I don't expect inputenc works with lua{la}tex, and I'm trying
to decide how to best port my document over.
Thanks for any suggestions!
