I thought the problem was that we said "input", then "output" and then
got to the point about the server, and I thought the reader just stopped
reading that far, so I tried to shorten it so the idea was sooner, and I
mentioned "server" at the end. It might not be better, but I tried.
We don't want to highlight the input/output, we want to highlight that
all input and output are controlled by the client encoding.
