Now we're getting to something that puzzles me--I have read that using
encoding other than UTF-8 or UTF-16 **requires** the use of the prolog.
ISO-8859-1 would seem to need the prolog, but obviously I don't have
the whole story.
I have been experimenting with this on my local pages running under IE6
(on WindowsXP) and haven't identified a problem. Any thoughts on that?
