The following two pages have a very long script (~ 10kB) before <html> and
charset declaration in <meta> is not honored.

I thought Firefox and IE stop looking for meta charset at 1 or 2 kB into a
document, but both seem to go well beyond that. With auto-detection off in FF,
the page begins to be rendered as the default encoding, but when meta charset
is read in, it begins decoding anew and the page is rendered correctly. (By
trying the second one above, one can see Japanese characters turn into Korean
characters in the page). 

I guess this is a rather big compatibility issue.
