This doesn't answer your question, but it's relevant: IE5 has an option in its configuration, "always send URLs as UTF-8". It defaults on. I don't know what it does when this is turned off, and I don't know if either mode is standards-conformant. -- Glenn Maynard -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
