I think, the user can act on the information, but the perlglue in 
Apache::Request especial any set and get function set or clears the 
perlutf8 flag. Which is off by default, but if Perl puts something into 
the table the flag may be set and delivered back by get.

In my opinion Apache::Table has to do this, but for my purpose it is 
enough if Apache::Request do it.

For Apache::Table I do not know how to handle the merge compress and 
overlap functions with different charsets.
