New Comment:
I understand your consideration. Maybe a global configuration in PHP.ini or
page
lifecycle set function could be provided for encoding setting of these
functions.
Developers would be glad to handle this setting centrally by a include header
file
for each pages.

I have explained that a few times. We can't default it automatically because
the
encoding may not match the output encoding. Only the developer knows that. If
we
did that automatically it would break even more sites. The sites where the
encodings differ need to set it explicitly.

Please, fix it.
It is so simple to provide default params. Wy should we put NULL and empty
string? Where is security problem to not put NULL and empty string if they are
will be default values of that params?

Code that is currently likely to be insecure, yes. We only make changes like
this
when we are forced to for security reasons.

you made one step, but kill the php programmer.
do you know how much more code need to rewrite and check?
if your change broken user programm, it's your lost, not the user's lost.
