Description Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2010-07-23 23:53:48 CEST

Validating http://w3.org/ gives:

   Error: Bad value Content-Type for attribute http-equiv on XHTML element meta.
   From line 5, column 47; to line 6, column 69
   C)</title>↩<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />↩<link

...however, the <meta> is all on line 6, so it's unclear why the error message refers to the end of line 5.

For some reason, the line break between </title> and <meta doesn't become a text run on its own right.

The XML parser is so sad that I'm going to de-prioritize this one for now. Some day, I'm gonna write my own XML parser properly!
