and I don't agree with either of them.  the encoding should
apply to the entire source file, and there are lots of tricky
issues related to source code embedding (e.g. python code
in XML) and encoding-aware transports (e.g. python code
over HTTP) that needs to be covered.

probably because we can ;-)

I'm on vacation; assuming neither encodings nor directives will
go into 2.2a1, I prepare a counter-PEP when I have some time
to spare (not today, most likely).
