But it doesn't. Just tried changing the charset on an NCR Deseret test
page from UTF-8 to US-ASCII. Both charsets fail on the W3 validator
because the NCRs are out of any recognized range.

I'd thought that it should pass validation earlier as UTF-8, since it *is*
both ASCII and UTF-8. So, no valid-HTML gif for this page yet:
http://home.att.net/~jameskass/deserettest.htm
It has the charset set to UTF-8 now.

Best regards,
