I would make it real and make:
1) forceCharset set to deprecated in 4.5
2) Make BE completely utf-8 only
3) let Datareader / writer do the translation to any configured charset

for following reasons:
1) No conversions in normal actions
2) No charset joggling when interacting with javascript
3) when use XML, it's utf-8. When JS does something, it's utf-8

And JS will do more and more in the future.
This is maybe a bigger cleaning action, but less stressful in the 
future. At the moment we can have some constallations which make charset 
conversion nearly impossible.
