Interesting. I'll play around with it some more and see if I can
replicate that. I've tested it SSH'ing to a shell where I'm using
en_US.UTF-8 and GNU screen with the -U to multiplex UTF-8-aware
applications. I've also used it more heavily backended by Telnet
connections to UTF-8-sending socket applications. What Web
browser(s) were you testing under?

Interesting. I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that this was a hack to get
IE to pay attention to the encoding, but hadn't tested removing
that. I'll see if I can identify any issues with that hunk removed.
I cleaned out some other bits from his patch which definitely seemed
to have nothing to do with UTF-8 support, but was less certain about
the need for that particular one.
