The i18n archives created since last Friday Night should have this entry 
fixed: 'iso-8859-2', 'iso-8859-9', or, for iso-8859-1: empty ''.

The only thing this does is to include_once() the script xlpage-XXXXX.php 
where XXXX is the value of the entry (utf-8, iso-8859-9...). 

But a wiki could include the xlpage-utf-8.php file from config.php which is 
probably better in case the page PmWiki??.XLPage gets modified or deleted.

There is also a variable $EnableXLPageScriptLoad, which, if set to 0, will 
ignore this entry (the encoding script should be loaded from config.php). 
Especially for languages using an alphabet other than the Latin/Roman one, 
this can prevent "Mojibake", unintelligible sequence of characters due to 
incorrect encoding/charset.
