I think there is no bug in url-retrieve-synchronously! This function
needs to be kind of universal, i.e., don't assume or set anything.
From the internet one can download anything, 7-bit US-ASCII, 8-bit
umlauts, Unicodes – and real binary data (PDF, JPEG, MPEG,...). It
would be nice if this function would accept another argument, the
encoding for the buffer created. Right now the user has to take care
of this, because the user knows what kind of "data" will be (or
already was) downloaded. The variables save-buffer-coding-system or
buffer-file-coding-system determine how the buffer will be saved in a
file. And this should suffice...

Theory and practice are the same, in theory, but, in practice, they
are different.
