I truely hope that interpretation is correct, since that could ease
a few compatibily issues with XHTML. As things stand now, I have to
include an xml declaration (with encoding info) in those of my XHTML
documents that are not in UTF-8. But that gives a few old browsers
a head ache. Now, if the new interpretation holds, I just have to
make sure the server sends out the correct charset info in the
http header, and I'm home free. But will the validators go along?
