Description fd 2010-10-01 07:43:51 UTC 
Seems the error message may be reported for files that are correctly encoded in UTF-8.

See user report at:

Possible leads to find the bug:
- content is SVG served as image/svg+xml. Could the Checker simply end up with empty content internally and think empty content is not properly encoded as UTF-8?
- content is compressed. Could the Checker run the UTF-8 encoding check on compressed content?

The second option is the right one: the mobileOK Checker does not support compression and tries to parse the body received directly as HTML. See Bug 10952 for more details.
