Because not all commonly used characters are in ISO-8859-1. > After all, iso-8859-1 is the default char set in the Internet, why isn't it > also the default for CFMX? ISO-8859-1 has never been the default charset in the internet. The default charset in the internet used to be US-ASCII and gradually went from that to UTF-8 folowing the acceptance of RFC 2044 in October 1996. If you look at any modern RFC you will see that UTF-8 compatibility is mandatory and the ISO-8859-x charsets are not even mentioned.
