I'd like to know what problems are caused by autodetecting the 
user's locale, and having xterm use the user's encoding by 
default.

I'd also like to know what good technical reasons the existing 
defaults are superior for.

Other than taking blind potshots at Red Hat Linux, and what
appears to be your disapproval of UTF-8, do you have any valid
technical comment to contribute as a response to my question
perhaps?  I'd love to hear actual technical feedback if there is 
any.
