Well, there are different reasons. For example, I have several 
webservers running with ISO-8859-15. Uploading HTML documents with 
UTF-8 encoding causes some interesting charset problems. And I'm not 
planning to switch these servers to UTF-8 because this would mean to 
change lots of (often customer's) files...

Well, it depends (see above) and I don't really need klingon characters 
for my daily work.

Oh, and using ISO-8859-15 is quite useful while betatesting - I found 
several charset problems this way which would have been unnoticed 
otherwise ;-)

Considering you have nothing else to do, yes. ;-)
