It seems rather unlikely that defaulting to UTF-8 yields in desireable results... maybe we should use Encoding::Guess with UTF-8, ISO-2022-JP, Shift_JIS, Big5, ISO-8859-1 and Windows-1252 or something? Or just try UTF-8 first and then ISO- 8859-1 with Iconv? >* Verbose on or off by default? Many seem to prefer "on" but as Bjoern > noted, we shouldn't change the defaults too often. I am not sure whether those in favor actually had a close look at it... Many fell in love with this fuzzy fussy feature and we dropped it.. I'm all for verbose mode (and on by default), but I'd say it's currently not ready for prime time. If we keep it off, we should remove the hidden verbose config option, it generates overly long URIs; and turn it off in check if it defaults to on.
