Challenge taken.
RFC 2277, "IETF Policy on Character Sets and Languages", section 3.1,
"Protocols MUST be able to use the UTF-8 charset [...] Protocols MAY
specify, in addition, how to use other charsets [something DNS does
not do, so it must be UTF-8]"
RFC 5198 is a good reading, too.
So, basically, in IETF land, if the encoding is not specified, it is
UTF-8.
