+.SH "Why the heck Encode API is different?"
+.IX Header "Why the heck Encode API is different?"
+It should be noted that the \fI\f(CI$check\fI\fR behaviour is different from the
+outer public \s-1API.\s0 The logic is that the \*(L"unchecked\*(R" case is useful
+when the encoding is part of a stream which may be reporting errors
+(e.g. \s-1STDERR\s0). In such cases, it is desirable to get everything
+through somehow without causing additional errors which obscure the
+original one. Also, the encoding is best placed to know what the
+correct replacement character is, so if that is the desired behaviour
+then letting low level code do it is the most efficient.
+.PP
+By contrast, if \fI\f(CI$check\fI\fR is true, the scheme above allows the
+encoding to do as much as it can and tell the layer above how much
+that was. What is lacking at present is a mechanism to report what
+went wrong. The most likely interface will be an additional method
+call to the object, or perhaps (to avoid forcing per-stream objects
+on otherwise stateless encodings) an additional parameter.
+.PP
+It is also highly desirable that encoding classes inherit from
+\&\f(CW\*(C`Encode::Encoding\*(C'\fR as a base class. This allows that class to define
+additional behaviour for all encoding objects.

+.SS "Compiled Encodings"
+.IX Subsection "Compiled Encodings"
+For the sake of speed and efficiency, most of the encodings are now
