Yes, I meant windows-1252 :-). Do you know what registry setting controls IE's
behavior? 

 It appears that out of the box, IE treats x-user-defined synonymously with
Windows-1252.  If that's the case, the majority of Indian users would regard 
Safari as not working for them.

Of course, there's a risk of doing this because some web sites may rely on
[0x80-0xFF] of x-user-defined being mapped to [U+F780 - U+F7FF] (hope I
remember this range correctly). However, given that IE's default appears not to
support this, the risk should be rather minimal.
