If the encoding is set to utf-8, then the NOAA files will contain utf-8
characters.
When a browser reads a file, it has to be told what encoding it uses. For
HTML pages, this is done by a meta header:
<meta charset="UTF-8">
But, the NOAA files are not HTML files, they are just simple text files.
So, the browser has no way of knowing what encoding, if any, they might
use. It assumes ASCII.
That's why the encoding must be set to strict_ascii.
