I'm going in circles here, that's what I originally thought.

If it really is invalid, why does the html 4.01 spec use the word
'should':
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/charset.html#h-5.3.2
which has a different meaning to 'must' if I understand things 
correctly.

Thanks for replying, you guys have probably covered this over
and over again.
