The properly-engineered solution for that is the "Accept-charset:"
header from the client to express its capabilities, with the server
sending out the proper document variant by content-negotiation.

You'll say, of course, that many available clients don't support it.
True enough, and so that's the problem that needs solving. 

Seems to me that just as a personal proxy like WebWasher or Junkbuster
can filter _out_ HTTP headers, presumably one could "front-end" a
browser with a proxy that would put desired HTTP headers _in_, if the
browser implementers couldn't be bothered to implement this part of
the published protocols.

BTW, you'll presumably be familiar with the discussion at
