Isn't windows-1252 the worst possible choice for character set and 
encoding? Apache by default is ISO-8859-1, which is at least a standard, 
but still excludes most of the world. Most clients now support some 
subset of Unicode, and UTF-8 to encode it in.

As far as I know, Microsoft only supports 1252 as legacy (alongside 
8859-1!). The corporation says 'You are not World-Ready if your 
application is not fully Unicode-enabled'.

Is there some reason for not supporting UTF-8?
