Even notepad has an encoding selection in the save as box. You should 
also consider your target fonts if changing it.
It's worth noting here that XML (and so xhtml too - not sure how the 
meta stuff or IE's prolog bug interacts) DEFAULTS to utf-8 unless you 
specify otherwise in the prolog eg. <?xml version="1.0" 
encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
This is a pain if you've accepted whatever editors save as default 
encoding & it's not utf-8 - some apps will choke, others may work fine.
