Considering we have a very international user base, and the fact that more and more projects have to deal with international or special character, why not make the demo international friendly.
In order to set encoding standards for your mime-type you have to include the character-encoding after the mime-type. Ex: text/html;encoding=utf-8 Without the encoding clue, most browsers assume whatever is the default for that browser. In the U.S. it is typically iso-8859-latin. This bit us yesterday as we had to make that change to support special characters again--this time with Cocoon.
