My code does control code handling for codings < 0x10 only.  Don't
remember why I did it that way though.  Maybe because the specs sayed
so, but also might be because its unclear how control codes are
supposed to work with the multibyte encodings.

Intesting, I didn't know either ;)

BTW: I've seen ^Z (0x1a) in eit descriptions, what the heck does that
mean?  I've noticed because xml parsers refuse to accept the files if
you stuff that as-is into a xml file ...
