I would say only if the language definition specifies it. Eg, Python
specifies something else (UTF-8 if the UTF-8 signature is present else
ASCII; see PEP 263). And most sites will have tools that assume the
current locale encoding.
If Emacs wants a global setting, it should be customizable and have a
special, non-encoding value (eg, 'locale-encoding) that means "use the
current locale's encoding". In that case, based on experience with
XEmacs and Python, I recommend 'locale-encoding, but Emacs could
specify 'utf-8 if the risk of annoying lots of users is acceptable.
