Re: What's a good default encoding?

Good default encoding:

does somebody NOT agree that UTF8 is quite a recommendation, at least for
all the people without Korean, Japanese and Chinese Chars? I know, that's at
maximum 2/3 of our potential user base, but better then nothing.

Maybe we could even "suggest" UTF8 in the "getting started" (i.e. the
windows installer initdb screen, or other default installations) Sth. like
"if you do not know better, take utf8"

When I visit a mosque, I show my respect by taking off my shoes. I follow
the customs, just as I do in a church, synagogue or other holy place. But if
a believer demands that I, as a nonbeliever, observe his taboos in the
public domain, he is not asking for my respect, but for my submission. And
that is incompatible with a secular democracy.
