No, the specification is correct.  You don't have to quote values of
charset parameter (you MAY quote, though).  If you want to quote the
value, it should be something like:

  <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content='text/html; charset="ISO-8859-5"'>

For more information about charset parameter, take a look at "3.4
Character Sets" of RFC 2616 and "4.1.2.  Charset Parameter" of RFC 2046.
And "5.1.  Syntax of the Content-Type Header Field" of RFC 2045 explains
the formal syntax of the Content-Type field, and it includes a note on
quoted strings.
