It's an error to use locales with different encodings on the same system.
More simply, I think that it's an error to have the encoding part of any locale... The system should not depend on them, and for critical things like filesystem volumes, the encoding should be forced by the filesystem itself, and applications should mandatorily follow the filesystem rules.
Now think about the web itself: it's really a filesystem, with billions users, or trillion applications using simultaneously hundreds or thousands of incompatible encodings... Many resources on the web seem to have valid URLs for some users but not for others, until URLs are made independant to any user locale, and then not considered as encoded plain-text but only as strings of bytes.
