           Summary: An XML declaration without an explicit encoding
                    incorrectly triggers UTF-8 encoding in an HTML document
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://www.utoronto.ca/webdocs/HTMLdocs/HTML_Spec/html.h
                    tml
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Page Loading
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: ap at nypop.com


Steps to reproduce:
1) Open the bug URL

Results: many black diamond marks.
Expected results: renders OK in Firefox.

My initial guess is that WebKit sees an XML declaration in this document (<?xml
version="1.0"?>) and switches to UTF-8 - while Firefox presumably only does
this for XML documents.
