The default and effect depends on the output format.  In the upcoming
release, this is now:

      --disable-encoding      do not output accented and special characters
                                in Info output based on document encoding.
      --enable-encoding       based on document encoding, output accented
                                characters in XML-based output as well as
                                special characters in HTML instead of
                                entities.

Does this seems clear to you?  Do you see a way to clarify, if not?
