Same in their meta, on http://members.aol.com one can find

  <meta http-equiv='Content-Type'
        content='text/html; charset=Shift_JIS,ISO-8859-1'>

:-(

I've now seen such constructs about half a dozen of times. As the comma
is not allowed in charset named, could the validator have a special case
for them with a more user friendly error message?
