    I am confused. It doesn't say this; at least neither string "windows"
    nor "1252" are found. Is this the default? Or has it just taken this
    default from my system settings? This is an important point because all
    of your following argument depends on this assumption which seems to be
    incorrect.

    Do others concur that this is a bug in Mozilla, which aims to follow the
    standards? If so, I should report it.
