I want to display different languages in a single web document, each
likely with a different encoding.
I found this:
http://www.w3.org/International/geo/html-tech/tech-lang.html#ri20030112.213804197
Can anyone comment on where things are with displaying multiple
encodings/charsets on a single page?
Thank you.

You can't.... you'll have to either use an encoding that encompasses
all desired characters (e.g., UTF-8, which supports the entire Unicode
range), or else use named entities or numeric references to include
characters outside the encoding in use.

The solution is using the UTF-8 encoding and declaring the language as
described on the above-mentioned page.

Yes, I am aware of Unicode.
My question is about supporting two or more encodings in a single
document. I checked the XHTML DTD and it doesn't look like elements
support a "charset" attribute, with the exception of maybe four (link,
a, etc.).
Thank you.
