I would say that a page that declares itself as one character set, but 
is actually stored in another, is flawed.

Yes, khtml can possibly be fixed to work around this, but that doesn't 
avoid the fact that the page is flawed. If the page is stored as utf8 
(and it is) then it should declare utf8 as the character set. Having to 
recode the charset to work around this problem is a hack.
