Description Abel Braaksma 2018-01-11 17:31:43 UTC 
The server returns: "Content-Type:text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" in the HTTP headers. However, the document is uploaded as UTF-8, which leads to some characters being rendered improperly, for instance the copyright notice looks like this:

Copyright © 2007-2009 W3C®

Forcing the browser to choose UTF-8 fixes the problem.

The browser renders the errata document in "quirks mode", not in "standards compliant mode" (tested with Firefox). The main F&O document does not expose these issues.

Comment 1 Abel Braaksma 2018-01-11 17:40:33 UTC 
The same encoding/quirks mode issue seems to apply for the XP31 errata: https://www.w3.org/XML/2017/qt-errata/xpath-31-errata.html

Fixed - thanks for the report.
