    Hello!
    
    I used your great validator-service some monthes ago, and all the things was
    going OK. Now, when I tryed to validate my page, I received this strange
    message:

    support
    Content length: 1679
    
    A fatal error occured when attempting to transliterate the document charset.
    Either we do not support this charset yet, or you have specified a
    non-existant character set (typically a misspelling such as "iso8859-1" for
    "iso-8859-1").
    
    The detected charset was "windows-1251".
    
    The error was "[Sun Mar 4 02:51:02 2001] check: Unsupported conversion:
    Invalid argument at /usr/local/validator/httpd/cgi-bin/check line 391. ".
    
    If you believe the charset to be valid you can submit a request for that
    character set (see the feedback page for details) and we will look into
    supporting it in the future."
    
    So, what is this?! My charset is always "windows-1251", but before your
    service worked and now - no! I wanna use it now too!!!
    
    So...?!
