"The ability to download and immediately render non-standard web fonts is just one of several advancements Apple has planned for Safari 3.1, a small but significant update to its share-gaining web browser for both the Mac and Windows PCs. The release, which underwent private testing this week, will tie in a number of other enhancements, most of which have been under constant development as part of the company's WebKit open source application framework since last fall. They aim to provide Web developers a means of writing more dynamic and customizable web pages and iPhone apps, which will in turn provide surfers with a more feature-rich and enjoyable experience."

The use of Windows-1252 encoding (and the other related ones) is perfectly valid, as long as it's not served as latin1 (iso-8859-1) or similar. It's this behaviour that's not allowed in FF strict mode I suspect. To be honest though for 99% of sites the proper solution would be to move to UTF-8.
