A possibility, but I would think that in those two cases, a UA would be likely to possess out-of-band knowledge about such sheets, but I can see where it might not. However, if a UA did fail to determine the value using Rules 1-3 for UA or user sheets. I would certainly prefer it to ask the user what encoding it was and store the value as out-of-band info for use next time. Any other cases?
