Actually, table 21-2 does say that SJIS isn't supported as a server
encoding, but the text at the top of the page (before table 21-1) is
pretty misleading --- it implies that every character set we have
is allowed as a server-side encoding. I'm going to change that text,
and also add a column to table 21-1 marking the supported server
encodings.
