I still continue a bit on this issue. >From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8859-1: ISO 8859-1 is not the same as ISO-8859-1. According to article Latin1 is the former, not the latter. Windows-1252 is not either. "In Windows-1252, codes between 0x80 and 0x9F are used for letters and punctuation, whereas they are control codes in ISO-8859-1." I think this is not only an annoyance but it may be a dangerous situation, meaning that it may not only break the visual appearance with wrong characters but it may cause some side effects - maybe even crash a program?. Therefore it is important to not give any possibility for confusion.
