valhalla, it's not intended to be a permanent setting. It's intended as a
temporary workaround for the user when either the server or the page misidentify
the encoding.

I think you may want a default encoding setting similar to Mozilla's
Preference/Navigator/Languages/Character Coding.

It will be great if we can specify an text encoding in each bookmark. And Camino
uses that encdoing when opening that page.

Or even better: A rule-based encoding setting. Like all pages on hosts
*.apple.com.tw will be opened with BIG5 (specified by user). Similar to the
group settings in MT-NewsWatcher. And individual bookmark setting will still
override the rules.

too much complexity.
