Today it is common to specify charset. Many years ago it was not common to specify charset. I think the probability of unspecified being ISO-8859-1 is pretty high. And ISO-8859-1 interoreted as UTF-8 does not look good. > (Much text labelled ISO-8859-1 is actually Windows-1252. What's > the difference?
