(My org ML subscription is daily digest but have read other replies regarding
the latin1 or utf-8 additional options)

After trying to include those options, I realized that the export options of
latin1 or utf-8 are actually using the same ascii exporter, correct? That is,
I can not use either value as-in in the call to (org-export-string-as ...)
To support the other options, it appears that we'd have to change the
function being used and I'm not sure which direction to take from there. I'd
be willing to hack on it further if I could get a hint as to what to use.
