I wonder if there isn't a minor error somewhere in the tool chain used to produce PG epub files from HTML sources. An example: - in the HTML of PG105, Persuasion by Jane Austen, at the head of the file is the line: <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> - in the xhtml constituent files of the epub of PG105 is the line: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/htmlcharset=utf-8"/> (This xhtml was presumably derived from the HTML above, but presumably modified to declare that it is now in UTF-8 as required for xhtml not ISO-8859-1 as in the HTML.) BUT should it not say instead say: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> ? epubcheck V1.1 from google code doesn't raise an error at "text/htmlcharset=utf-8", and of course one can argue that the fact that the epub's xhtml files already have an overriding declaration: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> means that the above problem doesn't really matter even if it exists, but I am wondering if I should correct it in my remastered epubs.
