This is correct. The default value 'US-ASCII' overrides *both* the
encoding specified by the 'encoding' pseudo-attribute of the XML
declaration and the encoding specified in the 'meta' element (the
latter should have no effect for XHTML anyway). If you want to use
a different encoding than 'US-ASCII' for 'text/xml' documents, you
*have* to include a 'charset' parameter for the 'Content-Type'
header.

But if the error message says '"charset" attribute', this is
certainly a bug. 'charset' is a parameter -- not an attribute.
