Page Info shows UTF-8 as charset for the web document, ISO 8859-1 for the local
document. There is no charset definition in the document.

If you want to see it correctly, you have to adjust the charset manually:
View -> Character Coding -> More -> Unicode (UTF-8)
or insert a charset declaration into the document.

What exactly is this bug report saying? Is this an RFE that when there is no
charset declaration in the document Save should automatically insert one?
