we seem to have a smaal inconsistency concerning encoding of HTML forms
- our HTML serializer by default is using the UTF-8 encoding.
(in fact it's set nowhere in the system and is thus left over to xalan which most likely is going down the easy path of assuming the default from XML land?)
- not setting the form-encoding parameter in cocoon's web.xml defaults to assuming the browsers are sending the request params in the ISO-8859-1 encoding (CocoonServlet.java line 500)
Suggested fix:
I'ld like to get rid of any possible mismatch between both defaults and would like to propose to let the AbstractTextSerializer default to whatever the form-encoding is reading.
(still have to look how the configure() could have access to that info)
What do people think?

* While at it, shouldn't we kinda default to UTF-8 anyway? even if that is not the default encoding of the servlet-container? (some gutfeeling argument: I think cocoon is closer to XML then to servlet-containers?)
* Why is the container-encoding also an init-param? isn't that fixed by the servlet 2.3 spec?
