html5 boilerplate: https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/blob/master/index.html ... uses: <meta charset="utf-8"> ... and i read in other h5bp discussions that IE needs that statement within the first 512 bytes. per: http://www.w3schools.com/html5/att_meta_charset.asp ... and elsewhere, the `charset` attribute is proper html5-way of doing it, and should be used moving forward -- the http-equiv-ness is legacy. i'd opt for the html5, since that's in front of us (and probably the reason IE works in that case). this is one of at least 5-10 items we should blatantly copy from the h5bp template. -- C Anthony
