No. The webserver sends 'text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1' as the Content-Type
in the HTTP headers, which overrides the declaration in your documents.
You'll have to configure your server to either send 'charset=utf-8' or omit
the charset parameter, in which case a user-agent should use the charset
declaration from the META element.
