Unfortunately, I can't name specifics, but I know there is a forms-in-frames chat application (perl script) I use on an extranet (sorry, no URL) on a regular basis, and there is a lot of progress/regression from one build to the next. Specifically, extended characters behave oddly. Most of the other users are on Windows PCs with US-EN and their browsers assume the Windows character set (1252?). When they post something with accented characters, there's no telling what will actually show onscreen, even after I had the webmaster add a character set META tag. Frequently, only those of us who have many of the character entities memorized can effectively post exactly what's on our minds.
