No. You misunderstand. The bad assumption is not that 8859-1 would be encoded
on the disk, but that the operator was using an 8859-1 locale as his current
locale. I should be able to use these programs to create for a CD in 8859-1,
even if I'm running in e.g. KOI8-R. This problem is what libiconv was designed
for.
