And how do you do this if the database encoding is latin2? You can not 
convert latin1 to latin2.

The specification was written like this to handle things like latin1 
strings in latin2 databases, or latin1 in a database that otherwise 
only uses ascii.

The intention is good, but the specification is not perfect in any way.
