Come to the bleeding edge lars!  20.5.92.9 is the way to go!  Come see the
violence inherent in the new redisplay. :)

Since I'm in the midst of revamping Emacs/W3 and URL to use your mm and
mailcap code, you tell me.  Is there anything I can do to make this easier?

The URL package has always just used the 'binary' method.  Then the w3
parser and friends use the charsets.  I'm actually going to be looking at
how Gnus does internationalization, since the way w3 does it sucks.
