* SUMMARY:
The Hebrew text on the web page 
http://www.icellcom.co.il/javagames/
is displayed unreadable from Leopard 9a302 Safari.
The same web page is displayed without any problems on Tiger Safari 2.0.4
(419.3).

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Install Tiger 10.48.
Open Safari and go to the above URL => the Hebrew text is displayed correctly
(the left side of the attached screenshot)

Install Leopard 9a302
Open Safari and go to the above URL => the Hebrew text is broken (the right
side of the attached screenshot)

This looks like it could be us incorrectly assuming ASCII over UTF-8, which
seems odd

Intl BRB:  Setting Intl Blocker/P1.

I don't think it's right to say that this is blocked by bug 4892428.

This specific bug is happening because we're confused by text in the a <meta>
tag that looks like a tag to us. We could easily fix this specific problem and
I'd like to see why this is a regression from the old code. Bug 4892428 is a
far broader one and not a regression.

<GMT26-Jan-2007 01:57:18GMT> Darin Adler:
The key question here is: why did the Tiger version of the charset sniffer work
better on this page?
