Comment(by cmbarton):

 Well, changing GetValidLayerName sort of works in that it does display all
 the dxf layers now. But it throws another layer in yet another place

 {{{

 }}}

 I fear that this could go on and on, and then pop up somewhere else. Is
 there a cost that actually matters to either using 'ignore' in
 DecodeString and EncodeString or using .replace(u'\ufffd',u'?') in both
 cases?
