Although it would be better to recognize the encoding declaration,
the "correct" way to specify the character encoding is to use
the charset parameter of the "Content-Type" HTTP response header.
Your page only sends "Content-Type: text/html". If you add the correct
charset parameter, the validator does recognize the encoding.
