There has been little discussion since the issue is raised. For  
compatibility reasons, it is not practical to make UTF-8 the default  
encoding for HTML5 - I believe no implementor of browsers or other  
influential HTML consumers would be willing to make that change.  
Therefore I propose we close ISSUE-11 in favor of the current spec text.

Regards,
Maciej
