ISO8859-1 is not really commonly used anymore. The obvious reason 
is, that it is not capable of representing the € (euro currency sign) 
and almost all countries using ISO8859-1 introduced the new currency 
a few years back. Now, Windows is using its proprietary codepage,
in Western Europe usually 1252, and most Unix-based operating systems 
have switched to UTF-8 as the default encoding.

After ISO8859-1 has been used as a de facto standard for most text 
files for quite a long time, we are back to a state, where it is 
no more possible to use non-ASCII characters in a plain text file 
and expect it to be readable on all systems :-/
