A handful of html and xml files in the JDK source tree claims to have encodings like `ISO-8859-1`, when they are in fact pure US-ASCII files.
While perhaps technically correct, this is misleading, and goes contrary to the efforts of turning the source code into UTF-8 proper.
I chose between marking them as "ASCII" and "UTF-8", but chose the latter, since otherwise if they ever were to be updated with a non-ASCII character, the value would have been unspecified, and afterJDK-8301971, all files in the JDK repository will be interpreted as UTF-8.
