That's a wonderfully principled standpoint, except that there's this little
known project called Firefox that doesn't quite agree with it:

  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333292

So please, please make up your minds, will you? Your attitude simply means
that every user of epiphany (no, not just Mourad, _every_ user of epiphany)
has to either:

  - Be constantly annoyed by ugly pages (most likely)
  - Constantly manually adjust the encoding (slightly less likely, since
    it's so tedious)
  - Adjust /usr/share/xulrunner/res/charsetalias.properties (even less
    likely, since it isn't exactly a prominent option)
  - Not care (very unlikely, since those people use lynx)

Just give it up, will you? iso-8859-1 has lost. The argument 'but it works
in IE' was lame, but 'but it works in IE _and_ Firefox' is starting to look
like a very good excuse.

Yes, I'm pissed off. I apologise for any inconvenience.
