IMHO, intelligence should properly reside in ispell.el since emacs has all the infrastructure to (dis)ambiguate associations between codings and other aspects, and since en/decoding occurs on i/o. if something is hard to enforce that just means you need to have intelligence in the heuristics that comprise the workarounds in the error handling (or, omitting this, suffer a buggy ispell experience). that doesn't seem like much fun to program. better to make clients sweat the specifications than the non-specifications. thi
