Slow down and enjoy some humor once in a while my friend. I'm quite certain that ASCII was designed to make overstrike feasible. Overstrike just wasn't explicitly part of the standard. The quip about it being a "multi-byte encoding for Latin" was a joke made funnier (to me, and perhaps only to me) by having a kernel of truth in it.
