In a Microsoft Security Document, in the Code Review section [URL] it setting the globalization.requestEncoding and globalization.responseEncoding to "ISO-8859-1" opposed to "UTF-8" or another Unicode format. What are the downsides to using "ISO-8859-1", in the past I've set both to UTF-8 for maximum compatibility.

<globalization

Whats better utf-8 or iso-8859-1 And why does it matter? I have used iso-8859-1 as I understand it stricker on HTML markup is it not? Which is better for html accurate markup ?
We have a large site with thousands of static html files. Some of them are ISO-8859-1, others are UTF-8 (with and without byte order marks).
The web.config file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" fileEncoding="utf-8" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
If I change the fileEncoding to "ISO-8859-1" it works for both ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 if there is a byte order mark. We are trying to avoid manually checking and adding byte order marks to files that do not have them. Is there any way to accomplish this?
The files have the charset meta tag. Can we make the server read that to determine the file encoding?
EDIT
If I remove the wildcard application mapping to aspnet_isapi.dll the files are served correctly. Is there any way to have the wildcard match everything except for .html?
Im messing a lot with encoding stuff. I see UTF-8, Unicode, Latin, ISO, RTC, etc... But i dont understand the relation between them.
How could i convert from Unicode to ISO 8859-2?
