Yes, web browsers think it's best to not complain, just silently display 
what they can, but for ancient html such as this where there's not clue 
on character encoding,I think it would be fair game to pop-up a 
fluorescent pink banner saying ...

"WARNING: Badly written old webpage, will probably look shit,
complain to $WEBSITE, not to $BROWSER."
