We can for SRT-HTML files. For legacy SRT files it probably has to be  
something special. Like the character encoding of the referencing page and  
UTF-8 as fallback. Which would be somewhat sucky, but can work. We can  
also make the charset parameter work.

If we are to implement SRT (let alone SRT-HTML or some new format) all  
this would need to be defined.
