Do you intend to have separate MBWs for different charsets or be more
dynamic about the charset to utilize?

An oversight, but it also introduces some interesting problems to
solve. The @Produces on the MBW may not be concrete. Which @Produces
takes priority? Does one merge the parameters, if so which ones takes
priority if two of the same name are declared, and how does one
compare the parameter names, are they are case insensitive or not
(IIRC that is specific to the definition of the parameter)
I suspect if you intend to say support the charset as a prefix of the
template (or if it is defined in the template, can freemarker do
that?) that you probably want to set this dynamically rather than
statically using annotations.
