This one seems right to me.

I am gonna add that to the default texi2html header.

I don't think so. I think all we use are entity which are part of latin1.
Anyway I have just read on a w3c page that the default was ISO-8859-1, 
and it worked well, thus we could stick with ISO-8859-1, and also that 
although it is the default they said that it was not preferable to set
it explicitly, and I guess that's why the validator doesn't take
ISO-8859-1 as the default.
