Description Ville Skyttä 2002-10-25 19:45:24 UTC 
It looks like preparse() is being called twice per request; first with the
commentary "Try to extract META charset" and second with "Try to extract a
DOCTYPE or xmlns.".

Maybe the latter should just be removed.
Comment 1 Terje Bless 2002-10-27 10:13:38 UTC 
Two things happen between the two calls to &preparse:

  1) The document is converted into UTF-8.
  2) The DOCTYPE is replaced (if override is in effect).

The second call to &preparse may succeede where the first failed if the document
was originally in a non-"asciipatible" encoding and it needs to be done after
the new DOCTYPE is inserted to pick up the new DOCTYPE (cf. Bug #47).
