That's fine Lindsay, but I'm citing what is covered in the W3C
guidelines regarding this: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_9

And as I stated in my response to Kay, if you're able to set the header
information and be sure it will always stay that way, then by all means
don't put in the meta-tag.

Correct. There is no need to specify a content-type meta tag in your
HTML if your webserver is sending the correct HTTP headers, as seoed.com
seems to be doing:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-2

<meta http-equiv> is exactly what it sounds like: an equivalent to a
HTTP header

/me thinks about doing a WSG HTTP presentation for about the 1000th time
