One thing that really annoys me about the HTTP standards is that some older version used to say that text/* without a declared charset was definitely latin-1 (don't remember which version exactly). Then a later version said no, text/* without a declared charset is definitely utf-8. In practice I feel this means they said "not declaring a charset is definitely not ok", but in a way that no one will understand.

Possibly a newer version that I haven't read fixed how they said that. As long as I don't check I can hope.
