This document has a broken structure (part of body content comes before head).
In such cases, WebKit only checks the first kilobyte for meta charset - while
Firefox will restart decoding if it sees the meta at any place in the document.

HTML5 specifies Firefox behavior, but despite this, I have very strong doubts
about it, because parsing can have side effects (like script execution), which
re-parsing would repeat.
