Having different encodings on one web page is a good way to make sure that
the page won't display correctly, since all the browsers I know of display
all text on a page using just one encoding.  Granted, if the encoding is a
subset of unicode, it may still manage to work out, but personally I keep
running in to pages that display some of the characters as garbage no matter
what encoding I instruct my browser to use.  So, no, I don't think it should
be valid to concatenate strings with different encodings.
