That's the point of this bug - it's about incorrect content type being used in Gtk, not about XHTML parsing.

If you change this file's extension to .xhtml, then all browsers start hitting this error. With .html, it's only Epiphany, because it incorrectly parses the file as XML.

> but the meta has content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=iso-8859-1". Isn't this enough?

Not with XML, see <https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-html-encoding-declarations> (or relevant specs):

"An XHTML5 document is served as XML and has XML syntax. XML parsers do not recognise the encoding declarations in meta elements. They only recognise the XML declaration."
