 Replying to [comment:9 adferguson]:

 You patch does use an option that is not always set. That option is
 optional. That renders your coding guessing or fuzzying. This will at
 least create more - not less - problems.

 Core-Developer Feedback is needed here. Is there at least some kind of
 documentation doing a strict point about the encoding concept in
 wordpress? Or is it still the good'ol'legacy-as-hell guessing code
 fragments spread over the whole codebase?
