<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">True
roundtripping here also seems to be of limited use, because
you're unlikely to have mixed IBM and NEC characters. I
think most of the time what you want is the ability to pick
which of those two will Unicode->SJIS produce (edited)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
