Only w3m gets it right. lynx thought it was latin-1 I bet, probably
according to regulations. Firefox guessed it was gb18030. Fiddling
with the doctype didn't help. Adding <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> did and all browsers got it right.
(Don't just put it in the HEAD, as you don't know just where we will be
processing this output.)

So WWWOFFLE needs a default charset for the user to configure.
Yes, if one day there's a Big5 URI it will look bad, but at least we
can still adjust things.

The default charset or charset or whatever it is to be called would be
added to all WWWOFFLE messages, or perhaps a subset, or perhaps per
URL granularity... naw, just all messages for starters.

Bad to have no facility to override just leaving it up to the winds.
