RFC 2616 (probably obsolete by now, but IRC ISO 8859/1 is already
there IIRC), and I don't think UTF-8 is the default for anything until
you get to XHTML (and maybe HTML5).

Looking back, it is 2068 and 1945 also, I just had a mental blind
spot, thinking I understood the header formats from email-land,
where they are more required to be ASCII, as mentioned in my reply
to James.<br>
<br>
UTF-8 is the default for FORM DATA when using multipart/form-data
encoding, using the POST method. Otherwise, it FORM DATA is limited
to ASCII. Per
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.1">http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.1</a> which is
HTML 4.01 (and maybe earlier, but I didn't go back further).<br>

Nice to quote chapter and verse (or link) when declaring that
something is in a standard.<br>
