I'm pretty sure that your source file's encoding is incorrect, because
in the UTF-8 version, the characters aren't even contained in the HTTP
response; the Content-Length is significantly less as well.

I also wouldn't be using XHTML for an encoding test, because a 10
minute experiment shows that both Firefox and IE aren't up to the task,
yet (or I did something very stupid).

Feel free to send me your project files and I'll investigate.

Cheers,
