Checking http://www.w3.org/International/tests/i18n-checker/utf16/utf16le-charset-html5.html I get the following error messages: [[ Error Line 5, Column 70: Internal encoding declaration specified utf-16 which is not an ASCII superset. Continuing as if the encoding had been utf-8. <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-16" /> ✉ Error Line 5, Column 70: Internal encoding declaration utf-8 disagrees with the actual encoding of the document (utf-16). <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-16" /> ]] It is incorrect to parse the document as utf-8, since the document actually *is* a utf-16 document. You can report that use of the utf-16 meta declaration is against the spec in utf-16 documents, but not assume that the encoding is wrong.
