What if there was just a single default application character set,
which would default to UTF-8?

This is not a nice option. Web applications that need accented characters (most Latin languages), but don't need to support another alphabets, will have a memory and bandwidth penalty using 2 bytes to encode many characters that would be encoded as 1 in UTF-8. In addition, I had some problems with Tapestry 5 using UTF-8 when using an existing ISO-8859-1 MySQL database tables. Accented characters were always store as two garbled ones. Maybe I didn't spend enough time to solve it (I was doing some consultancy that had a fixed end date), but this could a huge problem for Tapestry adoption in Latin-speaking languages.

My two Brazilian (Portuguese-speaking, with many accented characters) cents,
