I stopped testing when MSIE's tests said "script did not run" so

Or maybe update your IE to a newer version?
http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20090817#l-604 has the results for
IE8. In summary it seems IE8 only does whitespace trimming at start and
end and has ISO_8859-9 and ISO-8859_9 as alias but not ISO_8859_9. It also
treats ISO-8859-9 as Windows-1254 which makes sense I suppose and we
should probably require that.
I think the main issue with following the IE/Gecko algorithm is that
although it is much stricter it relies on more undefined aliases as well,
such as ISO-8859_9. So getting documentation from the IE Team and Gecko
guys on that would be good. (Have not checked whether Gecko actually
recognizes that alias, fwiw.)
