No such language, you didn't miss it.  Sooner or later we will
use UTF-8 everywhere, but that is not directly related to EAI:

Users in an EAI-friendly environment might still have reasons
to prefer other charsets in their communications, e.g., if
some of their correspondents cannot handle UTF-8 well.  MUAs
supporting EAI likely offer UTF-8 as default, anything else
would be bizarre.  Adding a "you SHOULD do the obvious" norm
does not really help, or does it ?
