Latin encodings for most european language environments are going to be higher up the priority list, for example. It makes no sense putting utf-* encodings before the others unless you know beforehand that you're going to deal with a lot of these files. And there's an UTF-8 language environment, after all, for people who routinely deals with utf-8 data. Are there environments (operating systems, language environments, whatever) where utf-16 is the norm? --=20 /L/e/k/t/u
