Yes, I also see this now. Confirming that 'Korean (Windows, DOS)' no longer
works, renaming the bug to make clear that it tracks this specific problem.

As for automatic detection, there are two issues in fact:

1) Firefox has true encoding auto-detection (using the actual page text to
guess what the correct encoding is). WebKit only has it for Japanese at the
moment, although other languages could also benefit from it. I suggest adding
examples of sites that need auto-detection to bug 4120.

2) In your test case, the index document explicitly specifies an encoding,
while its subframes do not. WebKit used to propagate the encoding from main
frame to subframes in such case, but we stopped doing so because of many sites
that were broken by this approach. If you have examples of real-life sites that
are broken because of this change, please file a new bug; maybe we could find a
safer solution.
