In general, having a coding cookie in a file sounds like a good idea.
However, does it really sound like a good idea for BBDB? I would

XEmacs can be built --with-mule=no and it used to be the case that it
could be built --with-file-coding=no. Would a coding cookie cause
problems for those kinds of builds, or would it be ignored?
Good question. Anyone?

Once upon a time, I suggested to include a coding cookie in ~/.bbdb
so that Emacs knows how to read the file. I vaguely recall that some
XEmacs expert said that XEmacs doesn't heed such cookies.
But now I did an experiment: I started XEmacs and opened a file with
-*- coding: iso-8859-2;

You could rename the variable and make an alias for the old name.

I don't know whether this matters here, but XEmacs doesn't respect

Amazing. Okay, then another mechanism which can do without coding
tags needs to be thought out. (But that doesn't mean the
Once upon a time, BBDB used one method for the coding system for
.bbdb. Now there is the variable bbdb-file-coding-system.
What's the right setting for this variable to provide safe migration
with no data corruption?
Stupid me, I fooled around with things. But other people are having
problems

Prior to the patch, BBDB didn't have any coding-system handling beyond
whatever Emacs uses natively. I applied the patch because
(a) it didn't break my test setup

Hm. So is there a way to
