I suggest using a more web-friendly encoding than some Windows specific
default, e.g. ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8.

Obviously UTF-8 is to be preferred and in most cases this is the actual default value returned by System.Text.Encoding.Default.

Still, in my experience, one needs to use the default rather than explicitly choosing UTF-8 if the application is to run on _any_ webhotel without encountering encoding mismatch problems, at least with querystrings.
