The wording in annex A isn't that good and I had some problems figuring 
out what they meant too. Anyway, I wouldn't look too carefully at those 
tables. I think what they mean is that unless some other coding is 
specified you should use Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) which makes sense since it 
is the most widely used coding in the west and on the net. The 0xE9 will 
then indeed be mapped into "é" like expected.
