There is no such thing as 8-bit ASCII - base assumes files contain ISO-8859-1.
Hm, shouldn't it really be ISO-8859-15? (The difference being that -1 predates the euro symbol.)
Base assumes that bytes 0-255 correspond to Unicode codepoints 0-255;
Does that actually match *any* known encoding? (I'm no Unicode expert, but I thought that 0 - 127 matches ASCII, but the rest is Unicode-specific?)
