They would then have to set $form->accept_charset("latin-1") as a
workaround.  I think that's acceptable.  I would hate to make this the
default for backwards compatiblity.

We should also find a way to propagate the original charset of the
HTML document that's parsed.  This should the be the default
accept_charset(), what you get when the attribute is still 'UNKNOWN'.
For the HTML::Form->parse($response) case this should happen
automatically.
