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)).
