I did talk about getPreferredCharsets(), not about the Accept-Charset 
header.

You implemented this in getPreferredCharsets(), so that method says 
UTF-8 is accepted if no Accept-Charset header is set.

And Five always used this line which has the same effect::

     charsets = envadapter.getPreferredCharsets() or ['utf-8']
