I forgot to add the result for IE8beta. Have done that (locally) and have worked on the result text a bit more. I have also added some tests with multiple values in meta and I'm working on a test that declares different languages in html lang and meta, to see which has precedence. I'll upload the new stuff shortly and announce it all when done.
