I was looking around to see whether there are other page corruption problems on 
French-language pages.

This page <http://www.openoffice.org/fr/Documentation/Calc/>

Revealed two problems. 

 1. The page serves up as English, so the language pull-down in the upper right 
corner is incorrect.
 2. The page serves up as Western European (ISO), when it is actually in UTF-8. 
 When I correct that in my browser, the characters render properly.  

These are both consequences of what appear to be defaults in my browser and the 
lack of any details to the contrary in the page that is served up.

I am not certain how to capture this.  I could create an issue but the main 
problem has to do with needing to review the site page by page to see what is 
being served-up incorrectly, and how that comes about.

With my today-acquired wget -E --save-headers superpowers, I can confirm this 
about the above URL:

        HTTP/1.1 200 OK
        Date: Fri, 05 Dec 2014 19:18:23 GMT
        Server: Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu)
        Accept-Ranges: bytes
        Vary: Accept-Encoding
        Keep-Alive: timeout=30, max=100
        Connection: Keep-Alive
        Transfer-Encoding: chunked
        Content-Type: text/html

## Note the lack of any character-encoding information.

        <!DOCTYPE html>

        <html>
        <head>

        <body>

[ ... nice list but the selection that is presented is based on the host and 
not the page ?! ]
                </select>
                <script>
[ ... ]
