 I think they are needed. Both RTF and HTML formats pretty precisely specify
encoding (RTF - in some backward way) - so it's not necessary. The only use is
if someone exported file by (or wants to export for importing into) some
widely spread non-following specs app. I don't know ones that satisfy both
conditions :)
