Description Henri Sivonen 2010-11-26 15:43:06 UTC 
It seems to me that in the case <meta charset="UTF-8" charset="ISO-8859-2"> the last attribute is now defined to win in the encoding sniffing algorithm but the first one wins if the token is handled in the tree builder. Please make the first attribute take precedence in the encoding sniffing algorithm.

Yeah the first one should win.

Change Description: http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=5763&to=5764
Rationale: Turns out I'd just forgotten one statement in the spec (I had the "attribute list" and was checking it but wasn't updating it!).
