NO!!!Again, we do not specify any PREFERENCE in the Accept-Charse header.
Your statement above is INCORRECT. All the header says is it could accept
any charset including iso-8859-1 AND utf-8.

We do not send out ALL charset we could handle since it will be a HUGE list
one day.We don't think any non-technical users have a PREFERENCE CHARSET (or
even understand what is a charset) so it is not worthy to build a GUI to let
them select a limit set of them.
