I can tell you the reasons for using koi8-r, euc-jp etc instead of utf-8 for the httpd docs. The resulting documents are significant smaller.
ru: 15169 => 20713 ru+gzip: 5454 => 6160 ja: 14063 => 16595 ja+gzip: 4833 => 5237 Hardly "significantly smaller".Especially considering that you are limiting yourself to a very small set of characters. As a result, you have to put the ugly hacky "ru" and "ja" on the pages rather than the proper "Русский" and "日本語" which users are more likely to recognise. Yes, I know you can use numerical entities in HTML to achieve this nonetheless, but the more you use those, the less of a "benefit" your legacy encoding becomes.
