You're not completely correct: the difference between these encodings is
ignored by one particular software manufacturer - they always send 0x80 as
the Euro, even when the data is tagged as 8859-1. The rest of the industry
is generally better-behaved and will not tag data that contains the Euro as
8859-1, reverting to 1252 or 8859-15, although they will accept the corrupt
data and process it correctly.
