The IANA designation for MacRoman is "macintosh". However, I'd agree with
the others here who said to encode it as UTF-8. This will work with the most
browsers.
You can edit your document in MacRoman, and then use Cyclone [1], a freeware
character set conversion utility, to convert it to UTF-8. Cyclone is
scriptable via AppleScript if you need to automate the process.
I hope this helps...
