Description Henri Sivonen 2010-11-26 13:12:57 UTC
For values of charset, the condition is "a supported ASCII-compatible character encoding or a UTF-16 encoding" but for the value extracted from content, the condition is "a supported encoding".

Please update the condition for the value extracted from content to match the condition placed on the value of charset.
