But those aren't strictly encoding errors. One more try:

For ISO-8859-* family encodings that have a corresponding Windows-*  
family superset (e.g. Windows-1252 for ISO-8859-1) the UA must use  
the Windows-* family superset decoder instead of the ISO-8859-*  
family decoder. However, any bytes in the 0x80–0x9F (inclusive) are  
easy parse errors.
