           Summary: Charset auto-detection trumps document instructions when
                    bad markup comes before the content-type tag
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 419.x
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Layout and Rendering
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: derek at pmachine.com


Auto-detection of the charset used to render a page will override a document's
settings if it is forced into a particular charset before encountering the
content-type meta tag.  This can be quickly demonstrated by using unencoded
html within the <title> tag, and placing that tag before the content-type meta
tag.  (See attached test reduction).
