Mike Brown kindly supplied some JavaScript to determine the current and
default encoding for Internet Explorer 4+.

This gives some interesting results for default encoding:

Mac IE 4.5  -  utf-8
Mac IE 5  -  utf-8
Win IE 5.01  -  x-user-defined
Win IE 5.01 SP1  -  big5

Would anyone from Microsoft like to explain why a Chinese Traditional
encoding has been made the default for an English version of IE 5?
