You made 2 mistakes;

first a imput filter can have a dialog, take a look at the kspread CSV 
import filter for an example.

Second, its completely out of scope for kword to have an encoding inside the
program; the encoding will only be used with a small number of input filters.
You are proposing something like we put the gasoline-input point in the 
dashboard, its does not belong there.

The correct solve is to have a better checking (possibly visual) for the 
encoding inside the input filter. Put this on your TODO list :)

The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new
