By loading the file as is.  This has the additional constraint that
mixing charsets is not allowed either, but if one wants to mix
charsets, he really should be using Mule.

Regarding fonts, yes, the user is expected to set his font to the
appropriate font, but non-Western users are good at that anyway.  How
do you think people in Croatia use XEmacs now?

Non-Mule XEmacsen don't have "environments".  It will only show the
letters in an incorrect font, but it won't corrupt them.

Your good answers aren't necessarily my good answers.
