Status of nl_langinfo and CODESET

I've been investigating the dreaded Can't recode string error in subversion. This error occurs when a string contains characters that cannot be converted into the equivalent characters in the users locale. It seems that nl_langinfo always returns US-ASCII (at least on my system), even if
