The browsers aren't the problem, Ilia but the servers. If a server provides a default charset, despite the one already defined in the html source, it makes the browser still use the wrong charset at first. Unless you manually set the proper charset in your browser, and that's for each request. Now imagine a German, Turkish, Finnish or Swedish forum (all using umlauts) running on Apache 2 using UTF-8 (and the server switching to ISO-8859-1)...
Because of this "feature" of Apache 2 I've already received bugreports for BBClone and had a hard time to explain to the people that it's not the counter but the server causing the problems. I'm pretty sure you don't want to deal with false bugreports, do you? 
Old Apache 1.x isn't affected by that problem, but the amount of Apache 1.x servers isn't increasing these days...
