Let me re-iterate in case that wasn't clear enough. There are many text
formats, of which ISO *is* one. But ASCII is the only subset common to
almost all, and consequently IMHO is the most appropriate for a public
formum where you can't make assumptions about the locale or operating
system of all readers...

Nobody needs to make assumptions. That's what the charset parameter
in the Content-Type header is for. It is up to a properly configured
user agent to translate the used encoding into one the display can
handle. Of course not all characters might be available there.
