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.
