Hans,
I've actually seen this section of the specification, but have not
yet been able to figure out how this could possibly be implemented.
Since the JSP file itself contains the information which the engine
requires to interpret the file, how does the engine extract this
information from the file? Unless it knows the encoding, as it were,
it can't understand the file in order to determine the encoding.
Am I just missing something obvious?
