There is a similar bug from Front Page 97, the Microsoft's web authering tool. When used to generate HTML documents using Simplified Chinese Character Set encoding, it uses illegal charset name "gb_2312-80". I believe the right charset name should be "gb-2312-80". Note that it's not a underscore character between "gb" and "2312", but a hyphen character. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
