OK:
  <META HTTP-EQUIV="content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

NOT Recognised:
  <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; CHARSET=ISO-8859-1">


TODO:
 * check HTTP specification for case-sensitivity
   (I believe there is nothing mentioned precisely, but HTTP is case-sensitive)
 * make the validator's detection less strict
 * throw a warning if loose detection caught improper construct
