OpenOffice.org sends Dell a letter Posted Mar 12, 2007 16:53 UTC (Mon) by sveinrn (guest, #2827) [Link] That's a hack from an ancient time when the Internet used 7-bit ASCII... And it works only for a limited number of characters. I think specifying a proper character set (like UTF-8) is a much better long term solution.

But yeah: Latin-1 as a web page encoding needs to die a fast death. UTF-8 would be much cleaner.
