The assumption of latin-1 is very dangerous and brings us in a position
similar to the anybody-uses-ascii assumption as it was before.

What if I type utf-8 into the template? This is very common since
it is supported by browsers and lets me input for different languages
without switching encoding.
Could be content-type with the extension charset used for display
and evaluation of the encoding?
