Yes I think that would work for euc-jp all-hiragana strings. 
But can you trust your incoming data?... Assuming, you got allready
rid of the line-endings, there could be some one-byte punctation or
whitespace in your data.
Yes with a  "just-only-hiragana-euc-jp-text" it should work, but I
wonder wether there is a real world situation, where you could use
such a routine. 

Still working on the Input-methods?
