The Bugzilla documentation recommends the English speakers to enforce the use of
ISO-8859-1 as the default charset by editing Bugzilla/CGI.pm yet the template
files in Bugzilla 2.18 are encoded in UTF-8.

Is the documentation up to date ?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/2.18/html/security-bugzilla.htm
2. Read page content
3.



Expected Results:  
All users should be recommended to use UTF-8 as default charset.

This is not a dupe. It's a question relating to the accuracy of the 
documentation, not the code. It's worthy of remaining open so we can at least 
clarify what the issues are with UTF-8 encoding within the documentation.

Dependency set so we can keep track of progress on UTF-8.

Changing summary to more accurately reflect the underlying issue.
Summary: should utf-8 be enforced as default charset ? → Documentation suggests ISO-8859-1 encoding, but template files are UTF-8
Yeah, we should suggest UTF-8 instead of ISO-8859-1 in the docs.  We can't do it
in the code without breaking people that are upgrading, but if they want to do
it on their own, it should be UTF-8.  Especially since we're coding the
templates that way.  I don't think this has any dependency on bug 126266 to fix
the docs though.
