I sought more opinions on this issue. People were split, and Steinar Gunderson brought up the good point that it doesn't make too much sense to specify a character encoding for a text file _within_ the same text file. Sure, it works for many encodings, but it doesn't work for UTF-16, and there are reasons one might want to use that. And some people were saying that <meta http-equiv> is actually the greater evil. So for apache2 2.2.3-4, I've left the AddDefaultCharset=UTF-8 enabled for new installs. I _did_ stop it from creating this file in an existing install, which was the point of this bug. Thanks for your information, Peter
