8859-1 is a character set not an encoding (like UTF-8). If you were going to do something along those lines, you would always use UTF-8 and flip the charset used to something else. i.e. 8859-1 to Shift-JIS or 8858-1 to 8859-2.
Think of UTF-8,16, etc as the telephone line and the charset as the conversation over it. For DBCS(double byte character sets), you'll need UTF-16 (double byte telephone line) to properly handle the charset. See this article: http://www.phillipholmes.com/?p=46 With that said, in CF5, you have to either create the neo object or you can accomplish the same thing through cfhttp (which is kind of a hack).
