Petr,

Encoding-map implemention is good solution, but it isn't long term solution.
If future version of expat support iconv function,
iconv should be supported in Sablotron.

Encoding-map is portable and has compatibility with current expat.
15 charsets are sufficient for me. 
(but, EUC_JP should be added.) 
And some other encodings will be easily supported.

Iconv function is general solution, 
and is supporting many encodings.
I know some iconv implemention has problem,
and byte-length map should be added to support multibyte encoding.
