This is a wontfix. The viewer works with lots of formats other than epub. And regardless of what the spec says, actual epubs in the wild occur in lots of encodings other than UTF-8/16. By forcing UTF-8 encoding I would be penalising people that declare their encoding properly, but do not follow the spec, in favor of people that follow the spec but do not declare the encoding correctly.

The former set of people are far dearer to my heart.
