Oh.  Yes, I think we want that too.  In particular, the "convert it
later" stuff allows the application to leave its data in whatever form
it got it until it needs to display (or lookup).  The latter of course
happens at lookup, but the former could easily not happen until much
later or not at all.  So there'd be no reason to do any conversion
until display.
