I mean that LC_ALL settings should match the @encoding used in the
document. In particular, if address@hidden UTF-8' was used, then locale
settings should end in `.UTF-8' (language and territory settings do not
matter in this case). There's nothing new in it: it is the way info
worked before.

Generally speaking, libiconv can be used for that. But I doubt if info
should try to handle such differences. That's the same thing as with
text editors: you cannot edit a document written in UTF-8 on a terminal
set to ISO-8859-2. In my opinion, it is user's responsibility
to ensure his terminal is set appropriately.
