As I understand it, all it's doing is establishing what char-sets are 
required for the form.

Not that this is a definitive or totally correct answer, but a 
char-set contain the glyphs for rendering the characters (code 
points) contain within that set.

Like Basic Latin contains the glyphs sufficient to render the code 
points for English (like your email application). If your form is in 
Hebrew, you can't expect the browser to render Hebrew glyphs in the 
form properly unless your browser has that char-set installed or 
knows that's what required.

It's just a way to get everyone in sync with rendering the same glyphs.
