Is > no-conversion-multibyte it? Or maybe utf-8 is good enough? As mentioned in the past, I think `no-conversion' should be killed because it's confusing. As for the problem at hand, utf-8-emacs-unix is what we want to use. > But first, we should decide whether we want such buffers to compare > equal or not. I believe we do, because it's called ediff-buffers.

That would be fine, indeed. Stefan
