The codec on the server adaptor should do the trick. It should match
the page encoding and the accept-charset. Seaside always sets them to
the same value, I did not test which takes precedence in which
browser. I did a quick test and could verify it with UTF-8 and
ISO-8859-1 on Firefox. You can either use the codec on the server
adaptor or ask the codec for the name and do it with the Zinc
adaptors.

Weird things happen in ISO-8859-1 when using code points that do not
fit. Eg Mac OS X uses NFD so German umlauts are two code points with
the second one outside of ISO-8859-1. I did not test UTF-16 or
Shift_JIS.
