When talking about labelling, I was thinking of mechanisms outside
the bytestream itself, unlike ISO 2022.
That means that when you start the bytestream, you expect to see one
character set/encoding method, and when you go to the middle of the bytestream,
you still expect to see the same charset/method.
The MIME "charset=" construct is the paramount example of such a labelling.
It could probably be easily added as part of TELNET negotiation, and so on
for other protocols.
