I'm trying to imagine a case where this is wrong.
So, if have a CGI script where the stdout could have one
a couple of different encodings based on a web client's language
preference settings, but, where the CGI program is running in a "C"
or "en_US.utf8" locale, this might count.
But presumably, any snarfing would have been done before
the CGI program reset its stdout locale before displaying its
output web content.
Would that violate your presuppositions?
