How about deciding what charset to use depending on the information from the 
browser, so don't have a fixed charset for those html pages but have a variable
that you get from the browser, and in absence default to ISO 8859-1. 

When I run a simple bit of perl script I get some interesting info. 

HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET = iso-8859-1,*,utf-8
HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE = en

The code:

  foreach $key (sort keys %ENV) {
         print $key, " = ", $ENV{$key}, br;
      }

But I suppose you already know about this kind of stuff.
