Well, I used to think that the priority (server header over meta tag)
ought to be reversed, but now I wonder if it's not correct. After all,
I'm surely not the only one that has written a server that does encoding
conversion on the fly based on the client. (Docomo phones/proxies for
a long time, and perhaps to this day, have refused to render UTF-8 web
pages.)
