It decodes to the same text using ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-15, or
Windows-1252. More pages without declarations are produced on Windows so
I'd guess that its Windows-1252. To tell, look for prices in Euros ("€")
on the site. If there are \x80 characters in front of prices then it is
Windows-1252, if \xa4 then it is ISO-8859-15. ISO-8859-1 does not have a
Euro sign. It isn't Mac-Roman as decoding with Mac-Roman produces
non-alphabetics in unusual places: "H¯jde" rather than "Højde".
