 simplifies reading data from v.what. I think attribute table manager
 assumes utf8 unless you specify encoding in settings. I don't think we
 have currently any better solution for attributes encoding, especially
 combining data with different encodings.

 would be add a encoding metadata to dblink. Still it needs some design
 decisions (should it be enforced?). Unfortunately I had no time to work on
 it this year :( and it is too large change for 7.0.

 Sounds reasonable to me. According to your current understanding, do you
 think that the change could be done in backwards compatible manner?
 Because if not, it would have to wait to 8.0.
