(...)" This is correct. The default value 'US-ASCII' overrides *both* the encoding specified by the 'encoding' pseudo-attribute of the XML declaration and the encoding specified in the 'meta' element (the latter should have no effect for XHTML anyway). If you want to use a different encoding than 'US-ASCII' for 'text/xml' documents, you *have* to include a 'charset' parameter for the 'Content-Type' header. But if the error message says '"charset" attribute', this is certainly a bug. 'charset' is a parameter -- not an attribute. -- Karl Ove Hufthammer
