It defaults to Latin 1 if charset was not specified in header or META or
with command line option. Command line option is not yet included in the
main distribution since it's in Klaus's Unicode support package and I
suppose dev team is waiting for style sheet package to be finished before
increasing version number. And perhaps more of HTTP/1.1 support? :)

Yes, Lynx does mapping. Without Unicode package mapping is being done for
Latin 1 only.
