I agree that the spirit of the PEP is to stop at the first coding

I'll definitely also update the docs.
Could you please also update the regular expression in PEP 263 to
"^[ \t\v]*#.*?coding[:=][ \t]*([-.a-zA-Z0-9]+)"?
Coding cookie must be in comment, only the first occurrence in the line
must be taken to account (here is a bug in CPython), encoding name must
be ASCII, and there must not be any Python statement on the line that
contains the encoding declaration. [1]

Also, I think there should be one 'official' function somewhere in the
stdlib to get and return the encoding declaration. The patch for the
issue above had to make the same change in four places other than tests,
a violent violation of DRY.
