Thanks.

Well, we'd certainly listen to your experiences with the svnkit:charset
property. In other words, custom properties can get promoted to "svn:"
properties (and their names changed accordingly) as we learn how they're
useful.
I don't remember the thread from a year ago, but I think it's not true
that no one's interested. It's just that most needs are being met via
svn:mime-type (although there are some problems with doing it that way).
From this current thread, I can see that there is not widespread
agreement on whether or not to have an svn:charset property; but if one
side were able to make a more convincing case, based on experience, then
that might change things.
