That is to say either explicitly or implicitly, i.e., using the default on both ends?

How can one keep it symmetrical without forcing a particular encoding?

Shouldn't we be using the platform default character set rather than iso8859-1?
This change will change the charset used for all platforms not using iso885901 as their default. It is certainly odd that sun.misc.CharacterEncoder(byte) and sun.misc.CharacterDecoder(String) are not symmetrical but this seems like a serious historical wart we might need to preserve.
