Of course, I can always use HTML4 and XHTML1. But ...

All 3 lines? I must make you aware that the empty string is not an error in
HTML5. At least not as I and Validator.nu reads the specification.

Just change your algorithm so that it only looks at the last META, and I can
cut it down to only 2 lines. Which means that there would only be one "dubious"
line.
Please also note that being able to cancel the HTTP header is useful in any
user agent that is able to read the HTTP headers. (Currently also coves IE.)
To say that it is useless to make sure that authors are able to concel the
effect of HTTP, is like saying that it is useless if authors are able to cancel
the user agent default stylesheets. Clearly it is useful for authors to be able
to take control over as much as possible.
