Let me see whether I understand you correctly.

You want to do the right thing. You think that the right thing
would be to invoke iconv. Since the original character set is
unknown to user and wget, you have to guess. What could one guess?
If the string is ASCII, fine. If the string is valid UTF-8, fine.
If the user has specified the character set, fine.
Otherwise? Leave it as it is?
