Since the whole documentation tool chain is now UTF-8 and there is an increasing number of non-ISO-8859-1 characters in the text, keeping the Texinfo output in ISO 8859-1 just creates unnecessary complications. Depending on the platform, there are conversion failures and thus build failures, or weirdly converted characters. By changing the output to UTF-8, the whole encoding conversion business is sidestepped.
