I see. So the validator in fact evaluates my user agent's capabilities as well, while offering file validation. The result may be enlightening, but this function is not really what I seek, I think. I want the file checked for conformance, and my UA is not the file's ultimate server. This aspect of the validator follows, however, necessarily from the combined File upload and Validate URI interface, perhaps? Or is this charset attribute or parameter something the validator needs but may not get when I upload? Anyway, I found the "Note: The HTTP Content-Type field did not contain a "charset" attribute ..." confusing in the context. Could it be worded differently?
