I think it's definitely worth bothering for user input, if the user has 
set their browser encoding to Big5 and the app is trying to decode using 
UTF-8 then the input probably won't make much sense.

I'd rather not gamble with that, and it's easy enough to implement so 
that it is likely to work (see my previous message).  My view is that if 
for some reason the browser doesn't accept UTF-8 (not likely, but given 
the number of buggy browsers out there still possible) then the user is 
not likely to complain, they will just go to another site.

I think you will regret that decision one day, but it's up to you!
