(But in a networking environment, the Emacs terminology is very
confusing. You have `coding system' where all standards say `charset',
and in addition you have all the standards talking about `encoding',
which is things like base64 and url-encoding. So the parameter list, if
changed, will talk about :data-coding-system and
:data-transfer-encoding, which is probably not as helpful as it should
be.
And note that utf-8 is a perfectly good charset in standards: "Charset"
means "encoded character set" in RFCs.)
