The idea was rather to set the CAPS ServerDefaultCharset on servers that 
already serve utf-8. Ie. it doesn't change anything server-side, only 
provides a way for the system administrator to let the world know that 
the server provides utf-8 content by default.

Of course one could imagine a server that recodes everything on the fly, 
when files are physically stored in another charset, but's that would 
rather be a special feature of the server (and IMHO, an unnecessary one, 
since it makes more sense to directly store the content in utf-8 anyway).
