That's rather different, isn't it? The various RFCs define default charsets, so we have ISO-8859-1 for text/html served over HTTP, ASCII for text/xml served over HTTP, and UTF-8 for XML in isolation. IMO allowing users to override that is a slippery slope to ignoring standards altogether. -- Nick Kew Nick's manifesto: http://www.htmlhelp.com/~nick/
