Description
I think we may be missing some normative wording that says that locales are associated with encoding schemes.
Such wording would tell us whether the use of "the implementation-defined encoding scheme associated with the locale *this" in locale::encoding is a definition or a reference.

Research direction
Start with the locale::encoding wording and the discussion linked from pull request 6359. Review the surrounding locale and encoding clauses to determine whether the association is defined or merely referenced. Done means the draft has unambiguous normative wording establishing the locale-to-encoding association.
