OK so I have indeed been able to reproduce this "bug", though it really seems to me that IE is at fault: it doesn't even honour the charset tag (which makes things "interesting" when displaying non-ascii characters). I'm afraid I have no clue why it doesn't work. It is possible that IE doesn't handle correctly XHTML, (as a matter of fact, the module already pretends to be serving text/html content instead of the more appropriate application/xhtml+xml since IE doesn't know what to do with the latter - though correct - mime type, see http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/). I've been pondering for sometimes making the module fully standard compliant (by adversting the correct content-type) but that would apparently definitely break compatibility with IE, which is another sign that IE just can't cope properly with any decent standard. Unless someone tells me exactly what is wrong and offers a clean, working solution, I'm not sure I'm really willing to dig into that bug... AFAIK, IE is the only browser that exposes this behaviour. All the others I've been testing with (including Firefox and Safari) work just fine, and I'm fairly convinced the module respects pretty much each and every standard/specification it is supposed to.
