This "EUC-2022" has me stumped. Any relation to EUC-1234 or EUC-666? 8-)}

Anyway, the popular encapsulations of JIS208 (Shaft_JIS, EUC, ISO-2022-JP)
all sort the same way under LC_ALL=C.

I think Stephen was a bit rough with his "lying browsers". Shizophrenic
browsers might be closer to it. The situation I was in a while ago involved
the HTTP saying the code was one thing, and the HTML said it was another.
The browser reported one and acted on the other.

Yet? My brains were turned to mush years ago....
