I see iso-8859-1 so I assume only 'latin1' chars, I see
iso-8859-1, I assume 'latin1' + euro sign, I see
iso-2022-jp, I assume only chars in that charset.
If they wanted to specify "any stupid character in existence allowed"
they should bloody well have that specified as the
charset or something like that and _not_ in some DOCTYPE gobbledygook
from which you can't ID anything more than that it's HTML 4
without browsing through a completely different website...
PS, on Linux my console is set to the iso-8859-1 charset, which
means for ex. Japanese chars _won't_ display on it, unless
I switch it to iso-2022-jp or UTF8, which IMHO is the normal
behaviour which I'd also expect from my webbrowser just like
from all my other applications: Charset Is What You See.
