request: add encoding-specification to html pages

I (and I'm sure many others) download the various XQuery specifications
to my laptop for efficient and off-line reference.
For some reason my brower assumes the html file (accessed using a file:
URL) is ISO-8859-1, which screws up the document - including the names
of some of the editors!  (I would have thought that UTF-8 would be the
default, since that is the general OS default on Fedora.)

Adding this line:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
to the html files solves the problem.  It seems like a harmless change
that would make the .html files more robust.  I assume it's just a
matter of modifying a script somewhere.  Could this be done?
