accept-charset vs. encoding

Now that we have accept-charset do we still need the encoding 
attribute? Or do we need acceptCharset given that we have encoding?

I'm know they aren't quite the same thing, but are you ever going to 
want to set the encoding attribute to anything other than the charset 
you use in acceptCharset? You might specify several charsets in 
accept-charset, but if you do that what will the encoding attribute 
mean anyway? You probably won't have it? Could we get by with one 
attribute here instead of two?
