After having sent my question, I also started to suspect that I should
tell the bwoser that the file is UTF-8, although the XML prolog already
does so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
What works is specifying the encoding in the header. I added
AddCharset UTF-8 xml
to my .htaccess. This works for NN6, IE6, Opera6, even NN4.
Interesting.
The problem is that an encoding is declared in multiple places:
- HTTP headers
- XML declaration
- HTML META header.
It seems browsers take the HTTP header generated by the web
server as the authoritative declaration in case of conflicts.
I think they have to (known design bug: the charset for text/xml defaults to
ISO-8859-1, so there's no way to specify a content type header that
*doesn't* specifiy the encoding).
Right now the only solution is to make sure that really all declarations
match.
