This was hidden in http://lists.debian.org/debian-www/2002/07/msg00096.html
You may add any field in the header section of PO files
to help translation coordination.
Of course if you did not know what I was talking about, this message
was pretty clueless, sorry.

Content-Type field defines the encoding of each PO file. IIRC
translators can choose any encoding they like, file content is recoded
when pages are generated. But as conversion is performed on all web
pages, choosing the same charset as the one in .wmlrc should consume
less CPU usage.
