   That's an interesting thing that I didn't know about, but it
doesn't work for me. It renders the page as UTF-8 instead
of ANSI, but the "repair" just means the funky characters
are replaced by black diamonds with question marks inside,
to indicate the character encoding is faulty. So now it's
proper UTF-8, but the original encoding was corrupted.
For FF to repair that it would have to parse the meaning of
the text and guess whether an ', a quote or a comma is called
for.
