I just returned from vacation and read this thread, which is interesting because we have a GEO participant about to develop a test for just this scenario. Any suggestions for how that test should look are welcome. The original question was: "shoudl meta tag with information about used charset be placed before or after the title element?" The reasons I think I see in the thread for using charset meta before title are: 1. reduces likelihood of parser getting out of synch and not recognising <meta> 2. improves performance given that the document is likely to be reparsed I'll add another: It's easier to do visual inspections, if you need to, when it appears early. (I find myself looking for the charset declaration very often to help out people who have page encoding problems.) RI
