Against.
Character set of a web document is determined by the /outermost/
"entity". The outermost entity available is the web server. If a web
server says, "This document is in iso-8859-1" (instead of "I don't
care, which is pretty much the norm, today) the document better *is* in
iso-8859-1, or all the beautiful utf-8 characters are looking like Æ-{r
or so.
Personally I prefer to use utf-8, too. However, I've had a number of
uncooperative web servers (and operators), where I had to deliver
documents in 8859-1.
