What do you mean "by default"? It was quite explicit in the code I
posted, and it's the only reasonable thing to do with "text data
without known (but ASCII compatible) encoding or multiple different
encodings in a single data chunk". If you leave it as bytes, it will
barf as soon as you try to mix it with text even if it is pure ASCII!
Which is why some (including myself) are asking to be able to stay in bytes land and do any necessary interpolation
there. No resulting unicode, no barfing. ;)
