The current CVS version of bbdb.el has bogusly changed the coding system for .bbdb in Emacs 21 to mule-utf-8. That's not, and never will be, a universal coding system:
(memq 'mule-utf-8 (find-coding-systems-string (string (make-char 'chinese-gb2312 68 99) (make-char 'chinese-gb2312 58 67)))) => nil [And before someone says it encodes gb2312 in some unreleased version or with an add-on: yes, I wrote the support, and it's beside the point.] Is the change supposed to fix some problem I could address, or just due to utf-8 fundamentalism?
