The question I have is why is the JS file being parsed as latin-1 in the first
case?  (eg, why does this even work?)  Is this for the sake of compatibility? 
I recall that the ECMAScript spec states that characters outside of the range 0
- 128 shouldn't be used in source code outside of comments and string literals,
and that the source should be treated as it were in one of the Unicode
encodings.  Presumably this is impractical in many cases, so we're using the
character set of the including page to determine how to parse the JavaScript
file?
