Makes sense.  OTOH my immediate reaction to your message was "WTH
is windows-874 ?".  I looked into the table, finding another Thai
charset.

Not feeling strongly about it, if you want to add the info anyway
maybe put it in your "use UTF-8" blurb:  

- UTF-8 is preferred to windows-874 when permissible.
+ UTF-8 is preferred to windows-874 when permissible for Thai.

For such more or less obsolete charsets, why do you write COMMON ?
