In the long run you will probably want to or have to switch ... the sooner you do that the better. I don't know what you use your web pages for, but if you allow user input (for example asking visitors for name), you discriminate users for not being able to enter their name properly. Lots of people that use ISO Latin 1 don't bother to specify encoding since the web pages seem to just work. If you try to open those files (or see the web page) on some machine where Latin 2 in the default, you'll run into problems anyway.

Mari (...who's next job is to convert a pile of files into UTF-8...)

Do not ask me where it is since I cannot try it now, but it's very handy since you only do it once and then UTF-8 will always work out-of-the-box. Agreed. However, once I knew I should be looking for this, I found one solution to this problem at http://www.nabble.com/default-encoding-to-utf-8-cookie-td5946114.html The thing to do is to open the SciTe global properties (Options | Open Global Properties) and to find the spot that says # Internationalisation # Japanese input code page 932 and ShiftJIS character set 128 #code.page=932 #character.set=128 # Unicode #code.page=65001 code.page=0 #character.set=204 # Required for Unicode to work on GTK+: #LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 #output.code.page=65001 Then uncomment the line code.page=65001 and comment the line code.page=0 (for us Windows dummies: move the hash mark # down by one line). After this change everything opened in Scite in Windows is handled as UTF-8 (GTK+ users will take note of the second comment). Remember to save the properties file before closing it.
