[pLog-svn] Get rid of encoding

[Oscar Renalias]

Definitely, no.

The reason is simple: people already have lots of text in iso-8859-1, 
or big5, or any other encoding stored in the database. Changing the 
default encoding of the site now would break all old posts. It might 
not matter for you so much if you have 15 posts but it will mean lots 
of trouble for sites with 1000, 2000 or 25000 posts.

Keep in mind that 1.0 is not a new version but rather an upgrade to a 
piece of software that has been running for over 1.5 years now so we 
have to try to break as little as possible when people roll out an 
upgrade to their sites...

So please let's leave it as it is. It's been working fine so far 
anyway...
