Surely that's the whole point of a locale encoding: to use the locale encoding, whatever that happens to be at the time. Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't see how this proposal is any more surprising than the fact that (say) Decimal uses a global context if you don't specify one explicitly. Only this should be *less* surprising, because Decimal uses the global context by default, while this will use the global locale encoding only if you explicitly tell it to. -- Steven
