* SUMMARY
Recap the problem title and/or include more descriptive summary information.

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Leopard 9A320 as English primary, Japanese country region and
Kotoeri as default keyboard.
2. Open URL:http://www.bandai.co.jp/releases/J2006120401.html

* RESULTS
Actual: The page is garbled. See attached screen shot.

Expected: Since there is a description '<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=Shift_JIS">'. Safari should treat the page as
Shift_JIS encoding.

Attached html source.

Changing the encoding to Shift_JIS fixes the problem, Safari is not picking up
the encoding.  Happens in Safari 2.0.4 and Leopard 9A319.

This is an regression from Tiger and needs to be fixed in Leopard. Nominating
Int'l BRB.

2007-01-16 14:36:38 DAVID Murphy:
Intl BRB:  Setting Intl Blocker/P1 for Leopard.

2007-01-16 21:52:09 Oliver Hunt:
Examining this bug the most obvious problem is that this page is fundamentally
poorly formed with a div defined outside the body of the page.

As firefox can handle this, we need to however.

2007-01-17 17:36:10 Oliver Hunt:
Just verified: this is *not* a regression.



2007-01-17 17:47:56 Ping Huey:
Per email from Oliver:
I believe you are exagerating the importance of this bug, as the page is
invalid.  We offer a lot of leeway in charset definitions, and in those case we
do correctly determine the charset.

I have relabelled the radar to make it more clear.  We are failing in this
particular example of a broken page, not on all Shift_JIS pages.

Re-nom'ing to intl brb for reconsideration.

2007-01-23 13:38:10 DAVID Murphy:
Intl BRB:  Setting Intl High Priority/P2.
