[George at Clug]

While in the past I haven't, but I now think it would be good if
I used  and  on my pages.

Always declare the encoding of your document. Use the HTTP header if
you can. Always use an in-document declaration too.

It is interesting when you run the above w3 page through the HTML
validator...

I just summarised what the validation site said. So look up
http://validator.w3.org/
and enter

into the Address field.

Here is another problem thus-unearthed, which I hadn't noticed.

{No Character encoding declared at document level No character
encoding 
information was found within the document, either in an HTML |meta| 
element or an XML declaration.}
