Robin,

here's an excerpt of the trace as produced by Lynx.

Sending HTTP request.

The below line

> Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

seems to indicate that the response stream is using the UTF-8 character set. I
guess that's what I am looking for, right ?

Btw, I've added an encoding line to my cocoon.properties after reading your
below comment

# HTML 4.0 (strict)
formatter.text/html.doctype-public = -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN
formatter.text/html.doctype-system = http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd
formatter.text/html.encoding = UTF-8

to make sure that the right character set is picked.

Well, yes .. ;-). And no, I'd never bounce any kitty ...
