With another issue which is 2022 target date (by hixie rule) for full
interoperable implementations, the different degrees of variability
might have changed.
* people demographics
* implementations landscape
* devices landscapes (mobile phone, tablets, etc.)
For example, I would be interested to see year by year what were
the default encodings in cell phones by countries.
The initial issue is:

7. […] Due to its use in legacy content,
windows-1252 is suggested as a default in
predominantly Western demographics instead.
What about something along these lines.
Depending on the geographical and/or cultural

in legacy content. The implementers should
define with their localization team what is
the most appropriate default in these
circumstances.
