Getting my content under-control (charsets, structuredtext, content-type: xml, language, etc.)

Thanks to Phil and Simon, I'm going to be getting my content under control, where "under control" means everything in UTF-8 (plus all old posts upgraded to StructuredText). I've just switched my page encoding to UTF-8 specified in my HTML meta tag, but I also have to switch the HTTP Content-type charset attribute, make sure my language is specified correctly, and serve my pages as text/xml (er, application/xhtml+xml) instead of text/html.
