I thought the ISO-8859 sets are going away in favour of UTF-8, and I
welcome that development. ASCII is still fine as a subset of UTF-8.
What's not fine is the use of encoded characters outside ASCII without a
corresponding declaration (possibly a default) of the encoding (or my
mail reader failing to understand that the declaration is there).

But how is that link to a set of language codes relevant?
