To paraphrase the spec: "If you use http-equiv="content-type", then it must be text/html and may include a character encoding. You must not use this if you are writing an XML document." http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/semantics.html#attr-meta-http-equiv-content-type So the error is right, that is a bad value for the element. I don't know if the checker does XHTML5 checking - to test that you could create an HTML5 document that isn't well formed XHTML (e.g. with a <br> (and not a <br/> or </br>)) and serve it as application/xhtml+xml. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk
