Does it make a difference if its in core or in a plugin?

In your original email you said that the existing plugins don't do it  
right.. Which is quite possibly fair criticism, however I don't see  
how moving the functionality into core would help the code be more  
correct.. Saying 'Plugin X is broken', 'Lets move Plugin X into core'  
doesn't sound very convincing from where I'm sat. :_)

Code speaks louder than words, so if you'd like to provide some  
failing tests for what you think encoding _should_ be doing, that'd  
probably be a better basis for further discussion.
