I think I'm -1 on a "locale" encoding because it refers to different

I'd agree that this is undesirable, and I don't really want locale-specific behaviour to leak out in other places that accept a encoding name (eg <?xml encoding="locale"?>), but we already have this behaviour with the "mbcs" encoding on Windows which refers to the locale-specific 'ANSI' code page.
