We might want to think about what DefaultEncoding means -- the original
point of the config var was for the xml rewriting (Radio compatibility)
hack, but now it's being used to generate charset attributes on html / xml.
Do we want that?  It might make sense to separate the two -- assume one
encoding, but always generate UTF-8, perhaps?

That is _very_ cool :-)
