If I explicitly call response.setCharacterEncoding("iso-8859-1"), it means I
expect that the charset will be in the Content-Type header. If it is not
sent, then non-western-european browsers are likely to mangle my page by
using whatever their default encoding is. Of course, iso-latin-1 is just a
standard alias for iso-8859-1.
