Why on Earth is this stuck all the way back in 1997? Wouldn't UTF-8 be more appropriate? Could changing it to UTF-8 even fix our current accent woes? Or given that it's generated, might it be an issue where UTF-8 would need to go on the server?

Edit: Let me just be clear that these are all serious questions. I'd never even heard of the current standard and had to wiki it. I'm suggesting UTF-8 because that's what I was taught to use and that it's apparently the default for pretty much everything. On the other hand, I'm a programmer, not a network specialist, so I just know how to write things for existing systems, not how to get a server up and running.
