Note: that doesn't identify a character set - it's wholly non-standard 
8-bit encoding.  My furrin' recipe used character set identifiers, but the 
very last of the tests in the furrin.rc script checks for hibit 
characters.  Search for "raw 8-bit" in the module.

I use a different method for blocking the high-bit stuff.  We talked
about it here a year ago.  Not meaning to discount Sean's stuff at
all; this is just another approach.  Here's a pointer.
