Re: doctype frustration

Hello,

Did some more testing with the validator at http://validator.w3.org and have
verified that it is ONLY the CHARSET word that must be lowercase in order
for the validator to recognize the doctype and charset:

This works:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type&quot; CONTENT=&quot;text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1&quot;>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type&quot; CONTENT=&quot;text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1">;

These don't work:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type&quot; CONTENT=&quot;text/html; CHARSET=ISO-8859-1&quot;>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type&quot; CONTENT=&quot;text/html; CHARSET=iso-8859-1&quot;>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type&quot; CONTENT=&quot;text/html;CHARSET=ISO-8859-1">;
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type&quot; CONTENT=&quot;text/html;CHARSET=iso-8859-1">;

As I said previously, I think it's safe to say this is a bug in the
validator.

Lastly, this also doesn't work, but evidently is incorrect syntax:

<META HTTP-EQUIV=Content-Type CONTENT=text/html charset=ISO-8859-1&gt;

Kind regards
