Eek. It wasn't intended to do that :). We force the charset on all text/
content to prevent a few ambiguities that might be exploitable, that's
all. Setting the charset for an image is silly, will be tracked down.

No, unfortunately it isn't on freenet. We cannot send data we cannot
interpret with a MIME type of text/html or text/css, without direct user
intervention to authorize it, because of filtering.

No. However we do not send invalid data.

Ewww. Maybe with the much heralded server-side javascript implementation
