This is a good thing. Note that some browsers might (I haven't checked this) incorrectly send the entity &246; for whatever character is at position 246 in the user's default character set, not character 246 in Unicode. This might be something to look out for, but I don't know if it's important.
I'm not aware of any browser that does that. IE is the only one that sends HTML entities at all if you get an unsupported character.
Everything else looks good. The kludge to assume iso-8859-1 on us-ascii pages is unfortunately a generally good one, as that will make the most people happy.
I think this kludge does not help at all, see my other message. Regards, Martin
