No. I said that I consider formats that leave implementations to guess
how to process instances of the format broken as designed. I did not

Okay, since this judgment has no real-world consequences I can live with it.
And by the way, some formats you mention are binary
and not text formats and could thus not make use of file system encoding
information.
Which? Programming languages, text markup languages, scripts, or
mbox-type message archives?
