IE on Windows handles EUC just fine. SJIS is widespread,
I'll give you that, but so is a lot of other broken crap, 
and that doesn't mean it is an "industry standard". I've 
been developing webapps in Japan for 4 years and have 
always used EUC. Clients love it when the weird mojibake 
problems from their old SJIS pages just go away.
