IMB's Character Data Representation Architecture (CDRA) defines
two distinct flavours of each PC codepage, viz. "Display" and
"Data". If the character data is properly tagged, the receiver
knows whether 0D is meant as a charriage return, or as an eighth
note. Basicaly, the same thing as with other encodings, only
not so widely known.
