in mkiv no encodings are used, although when an encoding is specicified, 
some trickery takes place, for instance: texnansi-whatever becomes 
whatever and so, i.e. the encoding is removed and internally fonts are 
remapped onto unicode.

i dunno either ... this may date from the time that not that many open 
type fonts were around, so we may consider dropping it (i.e. we kind of 
assume that xetex users use open type)
