% This is unacceptable as it will break a lot of browsers (or rather,
% render them illegal). For the moment, people will just have to put up
% with the fact that if they use numeric character references, the
% results may, or may not, look the same in all browsers.
Pardon me, but I am dumb. I am using the numeric reference for the symbol
of copyright (Mosaic does not recognise © as an entity). I rely on the
fact that my document is implicitly written in ISO-8859-1, since I did not
add anything.
Is it possible for another browser to be based on another charset by default?
If so, obviously my pages are broken...
