Surely, there is no way (that I'm aware of) to guarantee correct
downloaded file name in all browsers for all users. A lot of server
operators only care about users in their country, and can reasonably
(i.e. with negligible cost to business) rely on Windows locale being
set. They can just send raw bytes in language default encoding in
Content-Disposition, and that works for them and their clients. For
all I know, that's what almost everyone does, and it's "interoperable"
for them.

Yes. That was the case back in 2003 when I only had to worry about IE
and Mozilla/Firefox, and it hasn't been improving until 2008 when I
started the work on collection test cases *and* results, and started
updating the specs.

Since then some of the implementations of 2231 encoding (now 5987) have
improved a bit (Opera) / a lot (Konqueror), FF has a few pending
patches, and Chrome nighties have started implementing this (two weeks
ago).

So we are making slow progress now.

Just for the record: Chrome 9 with 2231/5987 is released. Furthermore, IE9RC supports the 2231/5987 encoding (UTF-8 only). So Safari is the last UA left not supporting this.
