How come I could still enter AND visit ISO8859-1 encoded domains this guy
showed me??

Because I did and it worked. No special settings. I just happen to have a
european charset & keyboard. I have entered the name into the url field
(with characters like � and �), pressed enter and it worked.

Well, maybe not with Chinese characters... only with western european. But
what is the difference?
