As far as I can tell, all of the arguments presented in the issue you
cite make sense when considering a piece of software imposing a default
charset on an unsuspecting server administrator, but do not make sense
when considering a server administrator specifying a default charset.

Nonetheless, I don't see what the problem is in saying "our text
documents are almost all UTF-8 documents".

(I saw Oyvind's list of files containing non-UTF-8 sequences, but as far
as I can tell they're a combination of rare exceptions and mistakes.)
