Is it even legal html to have something in that location (before the doctype)? It might not be the best loose parser to show garbage if there is an illegal character at that location, but garbage in garbage out...

To get OpenOffice.org to even recognize UTF-8 text at all you have to add the meta tag telling it what character set it is in:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
