Yes, I know that problem.

However, to add
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=EUC-JP">,
lines into HTML files of Japanese handbook, we need to hack the sgmlfmt.
Also, we should change the DOCTYPE declaration of HTML files
for Japanese handbook because current sgmlfmt generates the
HTML 3.2 compliant files and their first line begins with
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">.
On the other hand, DOCTYPE declaration for internationalized HTML
files should be:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML i18n//EN">.

Now, I have no idea and have left the problem as it is :-(

John! Do you have any idea?

As a practical matter, almost all the Web clients,
which supports Japanese, can detect the Japanese character encoding
automatically and above problem is not fatal.
