AddDefaultCharset is there (by default) and set at ISO-8859-1.

I didn't change it because the website pages are primarily English with
some Japanese, so being ISO-8859-1 seemed right.  

Plus below I did find the following:

AddCharset ISO-2022-JP .iso2022-jp .jis
AddCharset EUC-JP      .euc-jp
AddCharset shift_jis   .sjis

Are there others to add?  Does order matter?

I'm just wondering why browsers (regardless of whether MSIE or Mozilla
or Galeon or whatever) now have to specifically be set at shift-jis
where they didn't need to be set that way before (iso-8859-1 did fine).

Thanks
