------- Comment #2 from ap at webkit.org  2007-08-13 03:48 PDT -------
This is a regression from shipping Safari/WebKit.

Firefox 2 also honors an XML encoding declaration in HTML documents (which is
the historical reason why we do so, too, ignoring HTML5), but only if it's at
the very beginning of the file. Of course, both browsers detect an error if an
XML declaration is not at the very beginning of an XML file.

Also, Firefox doesn't have out quirk of treating UTF-16 declaration in 8-bit
files as UTF-8.
