No, I am assuming that the typical default nowadays, for text that is not 
otherwise labeled, is to use UTF-8.  This is a reasonable assumption.  It's not 
always correct, but exceptions can be handled.

I see that you have added more coding: cookies.  Oh well.  I do take your point 
that we need a better solution than what we have.
