9j/9k look at this line

        <?xml-stylesheet href="/ve.css" type="text/css"?>

and because it's saying that it's xml without specifying a charset, 
assumes it's UTF-8.  (Someone is sure to point out a third case which lets 
it be "unknown", but that's the way I understood the standards in this 
area).  However, I see the following

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

so I agree there's a conflict to be resolved.

That's this item:

* parse xml processing-instruction to turn on UTF-8 decoding, as well as
  disable upper/lower case transforming in source view -TD
