Microsoft takes over

  <title>Unicode Home Page</title>
  <meta content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv="Content-Type">
  <meta content="Microsoft FrontPage 3.0" name="GENERATOR">

Could anybody enlighten me why the Unicode Home Page announces itself
with "charset=windows-1252"? A proprietary charset that isn't even
registered with IANA.

And why isn't it possible to produce _valid_ HTML 4.0?

Until recently we had &#150; in the source of charts.unicode.org.

I don't care about the source of www.geocities.com/blahblah
but the Unicode.org site should really perform better.

This is a poor show indeed!
