On that, I definitely disagree. My experience proves the contrary. I suppose
it depends what is meant by "text gets garbled by those browsers". What I
see is that the characters are themselves changed in the file, and the
coding tag therefore has no way of recuperating; it cannot know what
characters were intended originally.

You have only to download the file from
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/emacs/emacs/lisp/ to see what I mean.
Save it directly to disk and then open it in Emacs (22). I don't know
whether this represents a browser problem or a Web site problem, however. I
used the most common browser (still), IE6.
