Well, I'm happy to see that you have awaken up at last.
I was surprised when you stated that the SEP was good enough for you.

What you're asking looks like the encoding conversion feature I 
describe in the section "Limitations". If I'm wrong, how is your new 
request different from encoding conversion?

I had an initial try to make encoding conversion work, it's not as 
straightforward as I thought.
