I know we had problems when working on Red Carpet's package to XML
routines with the lack of encoding for a few packages floating around
the net.  I would suggest that, rather than trying to add encoding
information to the headers, it just be defined as UTF-8 and checked
during build in the future.

But this is really more of a discussion for rpm-list, so I will put
together a proposal (and hopefully code) and post over there.

Thanks.
