OK. I give up, then.
IE+MathPlayer gets
Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml
All XHTML-UA's get
Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml; charset=UTF-8
HTML-UA's (including IE without MathPlayer) get
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Instiki pages are served with a
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=UTF-8" />
This is ignored by XHTML-UA's. They get the encoding from the HTTP
headers. (For present purposes, I am avoiding an <?xml?> declaration,
so as not to have to deal with IE in quirks mode.)
IE+MathPlayer is an HTML-UA masquerading as an XHTML-UA. So it will,
presumably, get the encoding from the <meta> element.
Hopefully, that will suffice.
