not my favorite.

> IE (win, version 6.0 - haven't tried others) misses the character encoding and defaults to western 88 or whatever, messing up some characters.
> Putting a XHTML namespace declaration in the html tag seems to fix this, but skipping the XML tag and adding a standard HTML metatag encoding would also do the trick. I'm not sure on the relative merits of either approach but suspect neolithic browsers such as NS4.79 aren't going to be impressed by namespaces...Might be better to go for the legacy option.
