Steve, I am posting your email to the Unicode mailing list http://www.unicode.org/consortium/distlist.html for possible feedback from one of the list subscribers.

It occurred to me that the problem might relate to what HTTP response headers are being output, e.g. if they say ISO-8859-1 then perhaps Netscape selects that rather than what the page's <meta> tag says. Sure enough, using the Perl "lwp-request" program to display the response headers from a request for http://www.unicode.org/ I find that there are actually two Content-Type response headers -- the first says "ISO-8859-1" and the second says "utf-8". Is the output of two different Content-Type headers deliberate? If not, then removing the "ISO-8859-1" response line might stop my Netscape browset getting confused.
