Fallback to UTF-8

I return to
 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/2007Nov/0090.html
 
and the test case
 http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/test.htm
 
Nothing has changed!
 
 
Olivier Thereaux, could you please explain why you still take
UTF-8 as default?

I believe that "Validate as ISO-8859-1" on the above test page
is much more helpful. The fallback to UTF-8 is just silly.
