Thanks for the summary. I'd say go ahead and use the charset unless you see more strong objections. My only concern is that you make sure that the default Apache configuration also sends the proper thing in the HTTP headers. I can't remember what it is sending at the moment for these documents, but I think it is iso-9959-1 already.
This is especially important. It's very easy once we put the tags in the html to be sending wrong headers, and yet have the header response masked by the parsing of the html.
I don't see an AddDefaultCharset directive in the stock config files, but from looking at the code it seems that mod_negociation uses ISO-8859-1 as the default charset. It would be best if one of the httpd coders could confirm.
