I do not think that it should be client side (only) It must be file-by-file.
Because there is also the reverse problem taht a text file should not be
processed, for example a UTF-16 text/html (Or Subversion must check if a file
is in UTF-16 or UTF-32 and put the conflict marks in that encoding, which as
far as I understand, is not done currently.)

Yes but a client list is not the ultimate solution. There will always be
exceptions.
