I believe this has to do with the MIME protocol defining ISO_8859_1 as the default charset for some content types at some point. This may well have changed with the latest protocol revisions, but there is no way of knowing for sure until some one takes up the task of going through all content types defined in the class and finding out the latest relevant RFCs.
