The problem is that the vast majority of windows-1252 texts, aren't
actually labelled as such. Often, they will claim to be ISO-8859-1,
US-ASCII and then actually be in Windows-1252.
Worse, in the case of HTML, they might claim to be in windows-1252, and
then expect € to Ÿ to do what they expect (as opposed to the
correct thing, which is to put question marks up there).
