OK, What kind of meta tag should I include?
I have a couple, but not very many meta tags in my files. I try to 
minimalise
content and maintain HTML 3.2 compatibility for oldr browsers.

What would a content-type meta line look like to get round this
quoting problem? My O'Reilly pocket reference suggests:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>

Would that suffice?
