Isn't it obvious that you should connect to the author's psyche to
determine the charset that was meant by the author? Though maybe you
might also need to connect to the Microserf psyche to really know
what's going on...
I think this would also open up interesting possibilities: how about
using the above mechanism to figure out what the author really meant
rather than just what charset they meant? Would be easier, too: no
need to connect to a second psyche!
