<r12a> ISSUE-11: default-encoding

<r12a> http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/11

<r12a> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Aug/0697.html

default encoding is the issue that concerns us

need to decide on this

<r12a> [[

<r12a> Otherwise, return an implementation-defined or user-specified default character encoding, with the confidence tentative. In non-legacy environments, the more comprehensive UTF-8 encoding is recommended. Due to its use in legacy content, windows-1252 is recommended as a default in predominantly Western demographics instead. Since these encodings can in many cases be distinguished by inspection, a user agent may heuristically decide which to use as a default.

<r12a> ]]

hmm...

richard: what are legacy environment and Western demographic
