The effect is, that all characters above 127 are not escaped. This means if
somebody, with a browser with a different default charset then iso-8859-1
will view your site, the characters with code above 127 maybe displayed
wrong. This is mainly a problem for languages like german or french which
uses chars like � or � .
If you want to be sure that everything is displayed correctly you need to
add the charset definition to your webs
