"AddDefaultCharset" has nothing to do with the "default charset". It means: "ignore the meta charset field in HTMLs and pretend we already know it to be XXX" which is already a bad idea even when XXX happens to be right: http://ungwe.org/blog/2004/01/26/22:52/ Now with XXX being "iso-8859-1" which is WRONG most of the time, there's simply no justification for having this in the default setup. -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call… if you are unable to speak?
