Yes, my point is that ispell should be fixed, but people are avoiding
the issue. Other programs allow users to set a coding system for some
file and they sometimes set it wrongly; I think I mentioned BBDB
initially as a real example.

But the issue is what happens when you tell them to encode something
they can't (safely) encode. They either have to produce some
more-or-less arbitrary result or to arrange to signal an error.
