And isn't it the same problem you yourself is pointing out when you state that it is wrong of HTML5 to claim that it is a willful violation? Clearly, HTML5 has not managed to become as pragma-atic in its understanding of meta@http-equiv=content-type as ithas often been claimed ... (Either that, or 'Content-Type metadata' _does_ refer to HTTP.) -- leif halvard silli
