if my memory is good.

text/html is by default: iso-8859-1
text/xml is by default: utf-8

Do you prefer if I send a Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 
It's much a matter of your tool. Technorati deals with this page 
correctly (except with the dates) so why x2v cannot, strange no?

DESCRIPTION;LANGUAGE=fr;CHARSET=utf-8:M�langez The Sonics, ...

it tells utf-8 but gives a strangly encoded utf-8 string ('�' should 
be an 'é').'�' looks like BOM, isn't it ?

It's correct, I'm sorry. My fault.

Btw, I've tried this tool and Google Calendar doesn't deal with Summer 
Time. Bad bad bad.
