On a related issue, character encoding seems to behave differently using 
application/xhtml+xml versus text/html.

Annozilla currently uses text/html, and I found that non-ASCII 
characters were being mangled somewhere when posting new annotations as 
described in section 2.1.2 of the protocols document.

After snooping on what Amaya was doing, I tried changing the 
<h:ContentType> in the annotation to be application/xhtml+xml and this 
resolved the problem.

Is this a known issue? I am testing with a locally-installed server 
pulled with CVS tag V1_2.
