 No, text/html is also internal 16bit wide character thing too (stored without 
byte order mark.. That is totally broken - nobody can support text/html
properly since they have to guess whether it's Mozilla (and chars are in
UCS-2) or whether it's in some multibyte encoding..
 Or change the target name to "text/html;charset=iso10646-1" from "text/html"

 While you'll be in, please mark all drags of single hyperlink (i.e. not a
selected region of text in mozilla) with some special target type - currently
mozilla will send it as HTML as region (it's broken - to support such drops
from mozilla, app should parse each text/html drop and count a number of <a>
elements, and if it's == 1, treat is as file drop too).
