I missed the start of this thread, for reasons explained elsewhere (thanks 
to JB for his quick fix to that). As for the issue at hand, I've explained 
it in great detail a number of times on the NetSurf mailing list. Here are 
2 of the posts, the second containing more detail than the first.

Anyway, Castle should already be aware of the issue(s) in this area; I've 
contacted them about it at least twice (if not more times) over the last 
3 years.

I see there's also some confusion over the roles that !Unicode and the 
Iconv module play in all of this. The short answer is that they have 
nothing to do with it (and both work perfectly well on all versions of 
RISC OS since 3.5).
