(Whiteboard: Depends upon rickg,neeti,harishd,nisheeth work for Meta)

There seems to be a problem with recent builds (3/29/99+), where the META charset information is noting be honored for a page the first time it is loaded. Instead of displaying the page in the appropriate character set, in this case Shift-JIS, apprunner attempts to display the page in latin-1. hitting the refresh button causes the page to be displayed in the appropriate character set. I've tried this on several different pages (including http://people.netscape.com/momoi/jis.html, http://people.netscape.com/momoi/sjis.html, http://people.netscape.com/momoi/euc.html) and is reproduceable about 90% of the time.

Change to M6. Cannot make it since webshellproxy and observer in nsDTDUtils.cpp are not ready yet.
