Good default encoding:

does somebody NOT agree that UTF8 is quite a recommendation, at least for all the people without Korean, Japanese and Chinese Chars? I know, that's at maximum 2/3 of our potential user base, but better then nothing.

Maybe we could even "suggest" UTF8 in the "getting started" (i.e. the windows installer initdb screen, or other default installations) Sth. like "if you do not know better, take utf8"

When I visit a mosque, I show my respect by taking off my shoes. I follow the customs, just as I do in a church, synagogue or other holy place. But if a believer demands that I, as a nonbeliever, observe his taboos in the public domain, he is not asking for my respect, but for my submission. And that is incompatible with a secular democracy.
