Huh?  (Converting at load time doesn't avoid the need to handle 
different encodings for different parts.)


I think I see part of our communication problem.  

(It seems to me that) you've read more into what I wrote than I actually
wrote, or have thought I'm arguing different points than I have been.

Above, assuming I recall correctly, I was responding to some earlier 
claim about just setting a single platform-level encoding and processing
everything according to that encoding (presenting the MIME multipart case 
as a counterexample--that you have to handle multiple encodings 
(regardless of whether you convert at load time or at search time)).
