So, Firefox and Webkit-based browsers will use the default encoding
(configurable by a user), which is expected. In IE, there's no UI for that, but
I guess there's the registry setting. 
If the default encoding is set to windows-1255, it'll be rendered correctly in
Safari/Chrome.

This is certainly an evangelism issue, isn't it? 

> In both cases, IE/FF correctly detect the encoding while WebKit does not.

Do you turn ON the auto-detection in Firefox?  If it's on AND the encoding is
NOT specified, Firefox is likely to get it right.   So does Chrome when
auto-detection is ON(I just tested http://www.advocatesfirm.co.il/office1.html
).  

So, the first issue is invalid while the second is an evangelism bug for that
specific web site.
