If the meta prescan finds something, the real encoding has to be a rough ASCII superset. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582788 > And then: Why allow any encoding inside <meta charset='*'/> but not > allow the XML (encoding) declaration? Because there's no parser support for what looks like an XML declaration in text/html. And support isn't going to be added for mere polyglot purity. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
