While correct, it is a slightly less than helpful default. Most people
deal (at most) with two charsets: One local, and if not, then Unicode.
(Which would be utf8 on most systems, and possibly ucs16 on Windows, I
dunno.)
So `chinese-iso-8bit' is a surprising default. Could the default be
improved upon?
