No, that's my point.  When I look at the web page source, it's UTF-8.
And since that's the only realistic way to have the framework document
around the FAQ, it seems reasonable to me.

This doesn't matter, because US-ASCII is a proper subset of UTF-8.

This doesn't need to change because the bottom range of Unicode was made
the same as ISO 8859-1 in order to make the transition somewhat easier.
