The only data I have is <http://philip.html5.org/data/multiple-content-types.txt>, which is too limited in scope to see if there are cases where the difference matters in practice. Looking at that data anyway, there were multiple Content-Type headers on about 0.04% of those pages (or 0.02% of the hostnames). (For comparison, that's about the same number that use <del> or <var>, and about half the number that use "Content-Encoding: deflate"). All of them appear to work correctly in browsers regardless of the Content-Type processing, since a browser that chooses the "text/html" instead of "text/html; charset=..." will fall back on some other method to find the right charset. > BR, Julian -- Philip Taylor pjt47@cam.ac.uk
