I don't follow your logic here. As you mention, the browser is performing the transcoding, so the data is utf-8, and the validator treats is as utf-8, correctly. Because of the transcoding, the charset information in the meta tag becomes completely irrelevant: the validator should not "pay attention" to it. -- olivier
