Misinformation in default httpd.conf

           Summary: Misinformation in default httpd.conf
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0-HEAD
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jori@cs.uta.fi


In default httpd.conf it reads "as the standard dictates that a page
is in iso-8859-1 (latin1) unless specified otherwise". Well, at
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/charset.html#h-5.2.2 it is said
""user agents must not assume any default value for the 'charset'
parameter".

So, server admins should always set default charset.
