It's not "problems", it's just that they work differently; the
interoperability mentioned above stops short of non-Apache servers
honoring ".htaccess" files.

XML documents start with a processing directive that specifies the
version of the XML spec and a character set encoding:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Since XHTML is a dialect of XML, XHTML documents can start with this
processing directive.
Which means that you have potentially three different assertions of
the encoding of an XHTML document: the Content-Type header from the
server, the <?xml?> processing directive, and the <meta http-equiv=""
/> element.
