character set to use

There are few advantages to using XHTML if you are sending the content
as text/html, and many disadvantages.

In addition, currently, the majority (over 90% by most counts) of the
UA market is unable to correctly render real XHTML content sent as
text/xml (or other XML MIME types).


This is the main point that I got from reading the two links you provided.
So the moral seems to be that I made a mistake in reworking and validating
my pages as XHTML.

Back to the drawing board. Or perhaps leave it as validated xhtml without
the character set <meta> tag?

It should be noted that the advantages referred to simply do not exist
for almost everyone who uses xhtml.

Most probably.
