They're not so much requirements as just what those particular versions of
FileMaker support. - ie, The FM6 family appears not to support unicode
(denoted by the UTF-8 charset declaration), whereas the newer versions do.
It's actually good practise to use UTF-8 in all pages for all purposes
anyway, as it neatly sidesteps most language and character set issues found
on websites.

(Disclaimer: I actually haven't moved any of my sites yet to UTF-8, but
bloddy well should!)
