I think the code is sub-optimal for a couple of reasons:

1) LOCATION must be the first argument, ENCODING must be the second. The
number and order of any options should be flexible.

2) the options should have a comma delimiter between them. Currently
they do not. To introduce the comma delimiter will require restructuring
that part of the parsing, but isn't a big deal.

I'm pretty sure that the options can be specified individually, but it
does not generalize well. The two specific problems above should be
considered fatal for a final version :/

I've worked through problems like this for other SQL92 syntax, and can
probably fix up this one too. Will put it on my list unless someone else
wants it...
