If anyone from Microsoft is listening, please note that ...
My colleague, Charles Wicksteed, has spotted a serious problem at
<www.microsoft.com>. Many pages, including the page <www.microsoft.com>,
contain an illegal charset name. Note that I am not referring to page
<www.microsoft.com/ie40.asp>, which contains a legal charset name.
The illegal name is "ISO8859-1". The IANA charset register does not
contain such an alias for "ISO-8859-1" and many browsers do not recognise
the string "ISO8859-1".
I am glad to see that Front Pad inserts the correct charset name.
