Apart from usb id database, there no way to distinguish unfortunately :(

I think the iocharset=utf8 vfat mount option should be a kernel mount 
option, and not hal should provide it.

Look at the .fdi files, I suppose it is possible to merge the filesystem 
attributes also which should work well for your own case.

I most definitely agree.
