It's possible (though I'm not sure how common it is in the widespread encodings
we're likely to encounter) for data to validate as UTF-8, but not actually be 
intended as UTF-8.

If the user has specified an encoding to use via a Magic Environment Variable,
we should obey that first and foremost.

There's an argument that for some of these broken protocols/fileformats, we
should use the locale after that, and only THEN attempt utf-8, but I don't
think that's ideal usually.
