Description David 2008-08-10 17:32:31 CEST
Look at this document [1] – it seems perfectly valid to me.  However, I just found that html5.validator.nu does not seem to parse the “legacy†character encoding notation (I do not actually consider it “legacy†[2, 3]) correctly any more. [4]  It says “Error: Unsupported character encoding name: text/. Will continue sniffing.†and “Error: Internal encoding declaration named an unsupported chararacter encoding text/.â€
