I suppose that the encoding number system that RB uses, isn't
necessarily useable outside of the RB world?
I know that RB's internal encoding numbers, are basically the same
numbers that Apple uses for it's TextEncoding library.
But what about on Windows, and Linux? I'd be surprised if the Windows
number for MacRoman, is "0"!
I was hoping that 0 would be the encoding number for binary/unknown
encoding, but this isn't so.
I seem to recall US_ASCII being recommended as the binary encoding, but
that doesn't quite make sense either.
I think I'll just make a "safe appending" function inside my RB code
(not in the ElfData plugin).
