Agreed, it's awkward to have this information on variables.

I was somewhat opposed to adding more state to the Dataset object but it seems like the necessary solution here. I'm not sure we need it in the Dataset constructor though -- could just have encoding as an attribute you need to modify. Honestly, could probably do the same for DataArray.encoding -- it's pretty low level.
