There are 2 resolutions for this problem, changing the charset the webserver
delivers in the response headers or recoding the html to be utf-8. One
possibility to fix the response headers would be to use the 'AddDefaultCharset'
directive (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/de/mod/core.html#adddefaultcharset)
like 'AddDefaultCharset Off' or 'AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1'.
This could also be set in .htaccess, so the persons responsible for the subtree
can control the charset by themselves without your interaction. Of course
the right solution depends on your setup which you know best about :)
We're aware of this problem, and the first answer is the right one --
this is 2007 and UTF-8 is what we should use everywhere.
However, the second option (using .htaccess) is available.
