Should I alter the xmlns into ‘el’ from ‘en’ when setting up a webpage in ISO-8859-7 (Greek)? So it would be:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="el" lang="el">
You’re confusing character encoding and language.
If you want to display a webpage in Greek, then use “el”. It doesn’t matter (much) what encoding you use, but I would use UTF-8 or plain ASCII (gotta love XML entity references!).
If you see “Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-7” and are using it to determine what language to display in… how old is the browser you’re targeting? Does it offer no better way to set a language?
(Admittedly Windows didn’t do i18n sensibly for ages — you had to download updates/patches for your language or they would refuse to install, making “ENU” the most practical choice for many people. ISTR that they fixed this in Vista or 7.)
