Gerald, group: My apologies for the newly gaff.
Terje: I assume you don't mind two copies?
Okay, here's a real issue: The W3C validator doesn't support
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1-Windows-3.1-Latin-1">
and erroneous reports a "fatal error". That charset is valid and
registered, reference URL:
<http://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/character-sets>
One page, albeit modest, that uses this charset is at URL:
<http://www.cat.cc.md.us/~bbailey/>
The WDG HTML Validator doesn't have this problem.
I believe the charset to be valid and I respectfully submit a request for
that character set. Please look into supporting it in the future.
Thanks very much.
