Allow me to elucidate.

|url-mime-charset-string is a variable defined in `url-vars.el'.
|Its value is
|"utf-8;q=1, iso-8859-1;q=0.5, big5;q=0.5, iso-2022-jp;q=0.5,
|shift_jis;q=0.5, iso-8859-15;q=0.5, iso-8859-2;q=0.5,
|iso-8859-3;q=0.5, iso-8859-4;q=0.5, iso-8859-5;q=0.5,
|iso-8859-7;q=0.5, iso-8859-8;q=0.5, iso-8859-9;q=0.5, gb2312;q=0.5,
|euc-jp;q=0.5, euc-kr;q=0.5, tis-620;q=0.5, iso-8859-14;q=0.5,

|Documentation:
|*String to send in the Accept-charset: field in HTTP requests.
|The MIME charset corresponding to the most preferred coding system is
|given priority 1 and the rest are given priority 0.5.

Couldn't that just be e.g.,
"utf-8;q=1,*;q=0.5"
Or document why must requests be bloated by listing them all out
instead of using *.
