I have another example where things do not work well:
http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=12368&pq-locale=de_DE&CID=KOSBANNER&LOC=290808_CRM_F1_M863

It contains this tag:
                          <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">

But display is not set to UTF-8 but to ISO-8859-1 which is the opposit of what described above. Essentially 80% of all german pages I visit I broken since newer Firefox > 3.0.x - not sure since which exact version. Funny how few energy is invested if the most important application is partly unusable for propably all users who do not have the primary language as EN, EN_US or similar. I guess thisis because those users dont have the problem, because 99% of the characters are the same in those languages in ASCII or UTF-8.
