You also don't want it to be wrong half of the time. Given that full
content scans won't fly (we try to restrict scanning for encodings as
much as possible), that's a very real possibility, especially given
forums such as in OP that are mostly ASCII.

Labeling is what people ought to do, and it's very easy: <meta
charset=utf-8> (if all other files end up unlabeled, they'll inherit
from this one).
