Hi,

please find attached patch that

* added support for detecting encoding in HTML5 specified only as <meta
charset=***>

Implementation just makes http-equiv and content-type parts from HTML4
encoding string optional.

Thanks,

					Jirka

The HTML5 specification says:

  Using a meta element with a charset attribute that specifies the encoding
  within the first 1024 bytes of the document. E.g. <meta charset="UTF-8">
  could be used to specify the UTF-8 encoding. This replaces the need for
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  although that syntax is still allowed.

that confirms that we should install the proposed patch.
