But :-)

What happens if request number one comes from, say, a 
German user, who receives a published HTML page, with the 
content encoded in iso-8859-1 (i.e. it needs umlauts, etc).

Request number two then comes from a Greek user, who needs 
to receive the same published HTML page encoded in
iso-8859-7.

There is no problem with the fixed unvarying content of the 
page, i.e. the actual HTML tags and attributes, which 
doesn't vary between the different iso-8859-[1..9] 
character sets (let's not start on Asian character sets 
yet ;-)

But the text that the page contains, say news headlines, 
must vary in encoding between the two users, otherwise 
they'll be looking at gibberish.

So it has to be at publish time.

Errm. Maybe :-) This stuff gets confusing :-)
