*NO*, we discussed this.
Data encoding is unknown if SQL_ASCII is selected, so we have to leave
it up to the gui to display whatever it means. Hopefully it is what the
user expected (it probably will, if using the same language settings as
he used when inserting the data).
For other encodings, all 256 chars are well-known, so the server knows
how to recode to UNICODE, and we know how to display.
