For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: Yeah, I considered that. I also considered "The content attribute must be specified unless the charset attribute is specified, in which case it must be omitted". However, upon comparing the three, I came to the conclusion they were all pretty confusing. The one in the spec is the only one that clearly makes the link between the attributes that need content="" and the content="" attribute, rather than linking content="" specifically to the one attribute that _doesn't_ need it (charset=""), which seemed to be a slight win.
