I can file an enhancement request, but it'd be good to know if any (common) 
clients explicitly look for specific MIME types, such as text/plain.

I'd expect/hope most (modern) application servers to serve UTF-8 by default. 
Explicitly specifying charset in the JSPs might then be considered deprecated. 
On the other hand, explicitly stating charset could be considered good 
'defensive' programming. :-)

Thanks.
Tom.
