LYNX-DEV Lynx 2.7.1: broken multilaguage support

Lynx Version 2.7.1ac-0.49:

There are several problems in handling 8-bit HTML-documents.
The document have META charset=koi8-r tug in the header,
but in some special constrains text look like ISOLatin1 charset:

1) input form:
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="...">
<INPUT TYPE=RESET VALUE="...">

2)
<IMG SRC=Image.gif ALT="..."
ALIGN=middle HSPACE=0 VSPACE=0 BORDER=0 WIDTH=620 HEIGHT=60>

Here  ... denotes text in koi8-r.
please check
http://www.nagual.pp.ru/~ache/form.html
http://www.nagual.pp.ru/~ache/header_r.html


3) Lynx now make bookmarks with META charset info upon creation,
but if I upgrade Lynx version from 2.6 to 2.7.1ac-0.49
my old bookmark have not META tug,
and then I add new document with cyrillic inside <TITLE> ... </TITLE>,
it saves without any charset info forever.

try to bookmark  http://www.nagual.pp.ru/~ache/title.html

I use Lynx for DOS from http://www.fdisk.com/doslynx/wlynx/lynx_386.zip
and it identifies itself from "Options menu" as Lynx Version 2.7.1ac-0.49


Sincerely,
           Leonid Pauzner.
