I think for any given file system type, you have to standardize what 
encoding is being used.  Otherwise, you really need for everything to 
self-describe, which quickly balloons the scope.

Perhaps for existing installations that are broken (as Soda says :-), a 
mount option to override the encoding could be used... but I think just 
for simplicity (and, thus, sanity) you have to pick something and 
standardize on it.
