 Replying to [comment:2 kkmuffme]:
 > If no Content-Encoding header is specified, it should be treated as
 ANSI. Since ANSI does not support multibyte characters, this means those
 should be removed.

 This seems like a bad idea to me, since silently deleting (non-)characters
 often leads to security vulnerabilities:
