Comment #7 by progame:
i brought this matter to the attention of Nir Dagan of nirdagan.com as i
don't know
enough about this matter to comment.

My view is that:
1. The document from Haaretz.co.il is declaring two different encodings:
a. ISO-8859-8 in the HTTP header (using one of its synonyms)
b. windows-1255 in a meta tag
2. The page is actually written in windows-1255
3. W3C recommends that in case of conflict HTTP header is of higher
priority that
that the meta tag.
I didn't find the spec but it is mentioned in this tutorial:
http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/#Slide0240
Therefore, in my view Google's chrome is correct by assuming that this
is "visual"
encoding.
So the bug is with the Haaretz web site and not in Google chrome.

That w3.org page says "...If you serve encoding information in the HTTP
header, it is
particularly important to ensure that it is always served correctly since
this
declaration has the highest priority..."
1. Since both FF and IE reads it as logical i hope there is something
Chrome can do
too, right now due too various other bugs i can't even override it manually
to show
correctly.
2. xlyuan, the text in the two files you posted is in logical Hebrew, so
after
opening the visual declared one you should copy it and replace the text in
the source
code to make it proper (i think?).
