Comment(by hakre):

 I do not like the wording-change. UTF-8 should be favorized extremely, so
 I see no "but". It's more likely that using everything else as encoding
 than 7bit Ascii, Latin-1 or UTF8 is doing sort of harakiri with wordpress.

 IMHO the recommended type (in the status quo) should be ASCII 7Bit. This
 is the safest way to work with WordPress right now but it might not be
 accepted by most of it's users. So the recommendation now is UTF-8. And I
 think it is a good recommendation.

 Wording should reflect that because most users do not understand the
 topic. Even many programmers have fear to deal with encodings properly.

 Is there an argument against linking to WordPress Codex? This would make
 it much more flexible for the translators as well. And the WordPress
 community can take care of explanations and hints there far better then on
 wikipedia.org.
