Could this have been only about trying to decode the external resources as UTF-16 vs. trying to decode them using any ASCII superset encoding? By looking at CVS blame a second time, I found only https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255820 where the key thing seems to be avoiding UTF-16 and not so much letting the meta have an effect and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35340 where the compat target seems to have been Netscape 4. -- Henri Sivonen [email protected] http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
