I tried to run a web page with the content type meta tag of : <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ASCII"> and the validator said: Sorry! A fatal error occurred when attempting to transcode the character encoding of the document. Either we do not support this character encoding yet, or you have specified a non-existent character encoding (often a misspelling). The detected character encoding was "ascii". The error was "". If you believe the character encoding to be valid you can submit a request for that character encoding (see the feedback page for details) and we will look into supporting it in the future. Is ASCII now considered passe? I spent a good chunk of life memorizing ASCII codes....
