Yes.

As for the new UNKNOWN data type, that seems a good thing for
me. However, I think more aggressive soultion would be having an
encoding info in the text data type itself. This would also opens the
way to implement SQL99's CREATE CHARACTER SET stuffs. I have been
thinking about this for a while and want to make a RFC in the future(I
need to rethink my idea to adopt the SCHEMA you introduced).

BTW, for the 7.2.x tree we need a solution with lesser impact.
For this purpose, I would like to change PQescapeBytea as I stated in
the previous mail. Objection?
