Microsoft recently submitted "windows-1252" to IANA. As usual, it seems
to be taking a long time to actually get it in there...

Have you tried 0x80 with the label "windows-1252" in the various
browsers? I suspect that it will be OK. Of course, it will only work if
the user has fonts with the euro, but that's pretty obvious.

The NCR and CER for euro don't work in older versions of Netscape, so
stay clear of those (if you're interested in supporting the minority of
users still using older Netscape versions).
