So how about the parser just accepts a locale value and implements the 
locale-to-fallback encoding map? Given the numerous problems discovered[1], 
locale-defaults actually being part of the HTML Standard, and it being 
available as option to change encourages people to tweak it, I think that would 
be a better way forward.

I wonder if there are similar settings that are in a sense too technical to 
leave up to localization teams.
