In particular, what happens if -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 is set on platform 
with a non-US-ASCII Windows code page, and the SLD editor is used to 
edit an SLD that uses this code page (not UTF-8)?

Setting -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 in the Windows startup scripts might break 
things for some users.

A better solution might be for the encoding to be detected from the SLD 
when it is written. I am not volunteering.

I support all encodings ... as long as they are UTF-8:

Kind regards,
