The later.
It is simply too much work to even consider supporting that.  That
might have been somewhat feasible in 1.0.x.  However, the new
requirements for pango in the 1.1.x build blow the concept out of
the water.  It would also make import/export very difficult.  What
do you do when trying to read an xls file in a different encoding ...

So the short answer is that we're not even accepting patches for it.
Sorry,
