Aren't we all using UTF-8 like good boys and girls? :-)

We can do this.  If the blog charset is ISO-8859-1 we set mb_language to
"en".  If it's ISO-2022-JP we set "ja".  If it's UTF-8 (ding, ding, right
answer) we set "uni".  Otherwise, we don't touch mb_language.  If people
are using other character sets, they're out of luck no matter what we do.
