Does anyone have experience with using the the "accept-charset" attribute on

I read this, but I am not sure what the net result is:
"The client must interpret this list as an exclusive-or list, i.e., the
server is able to accept any single character encoding per entity received."
So guess it's not solving the initial question, but might be part of the
solution...?
In theory the data sent by the client should be in one of the
'acceptable' character sets. In practice I am sure there are plenty of
clients which either don't obey this directive or ignore it altogether.
I'm not sure if it might be useful as a way of hinting to modern clients
that you would like input in utf-8 (or another character set), though I
believe that most browsers will attempt to provide form data in the same
character set as the containing page anyway.
