Coin,
Default setting is on by default, so apache force a specific
encoding. Most users, and some not complete newbie, are unable to
understand why their site is not working as expected, and some (kov) may
wonder why their browser is not rendering it properly.
As activating this setting is pretty much unuseful for a large majority
of users, i suggest deactivating it in future release.
Thx

This thing has been discussed over and over. This is the last reference to
it:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D211889&archive=3Dyes
Since setting AddDefaultCharset off can imply security problem we will
never switch it to off. For more information please check the previous URL
and the apache documentation on httpd.apache.org
Thanks
Fabio
