One more clarifying question.... Does Gecko use UTF-8, or the encoding
of whatever document it was open() got called on?
WebKit uses the encoding of the opener. IE8 (both with compat view button pressed and not
pressed) sets the document's character encoding to "unicode" and uses UTF-8 to
decode the external resource. Opera uses Windows-1252 to decode the external resource.
Similar question for IE.
None of IE, WebKit or Opera let the meta charset in a document.open()ed
document have any effect
As in, it doesn't affect how external resources with no encoding labels are
handled?
Right.
OK.
