There is a similar bug from Front Page 97, the Microsoft's web authering
tool.
When used to generate HTML documents using Simplified Chinese Character Set
encoding, it uses illegal charset name "gb_2312-80".
I believe the right charset name should be "gb-2312-80". Note that it's not
a underscore
character between "gb" and "2312", but a hyphen character.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks,
Sam
